But PDF files aren't a Microsoft technology. PDF - Portable Document Format - is a file format created by Adobe Systems for document exchange. For years, it was totally proprietary and you had to get software that could process a PDF file from Adobe. On July 1, 2008, PDF was finalized as a published international standard. Now, anyone is permitted to create applications that can read and write PDF files without having to pay royalties to Adobe Systems.

If you plan on selling your software, you still may be required to get a license, but Adobe provides them royalty-free. (Microsoft created a different format called XPS that is based on XML. Adobe's PDF format is based on Postscript. XPS became a published international standard on June 16, 2009.). Since the PDF format is a competitor to Microsoft's technology, they don't provide a lot of support and you have to get a software object that 'understands' the PDF format from someone other than Microsoft right now. Adobe returns the favor. They don't support Microsoft technology all that well either.

Quoting from the latest (October 2009) Adobe Acrobat 9.1 documentation, 'There is currently no support for the development of plug-ins using managed languages such as C# or VB.NET.' (A 'plug-in' is an on-demand software component. Adobe's plug-in is used to display PDF's in a browser.' Step 2 is to add the control to the VB.NET Toolbox.

Open VB.NET and start a standard Windows application. (Microsoft's 'next generation' of presentation, WPF, doesn't work with this control yet.

Sorry!) To do that, right-click on any tab (such as 'Common Controls') and select 'Choose Items.' From the context menu that pops up. Select the 'COM Components' tab and click the checkbox beside 'Adobe PDF Reader' and click OK. You should be able to scroll down to the 'Controls' tab in the Toolbox and see the 'Adobe PDF Reader' there. If you want to control the Reader, there are methods and properties for that in the control too. But the good folks at Adobe have done a better job than I could.

Download the Adobe Acrobat SDK from their developer center (The AcrobatActiveXVB program in the VBSamples directory of the SDK shows you how to navigate in a document, get the version numbers of the Adobe software you are using, and much more. If you don't have the full Acrobat system installed - which must be purchased from Adobe - you won't be able to run other examples. The chronicles of narnia 2005 in hindi download mp4 free.
