PDFInclude is for making PDFs, not viewing them.

Are we talking in a webpage? If so, you can use pdf.js which is what powers Firefox's PDF viewer.

Otherwise you just set the mime type as application/pdf and let the PDF reader that the user has installed do the actual displaying of it (Chrome has one builtin, Firefox has one builtin, IE will use Adobe or whatever other reader is installed).

If we are talking some other type of application instead of in a webpage, not sure.

Greetings,

just drop Adobe Acrobat activex in your form and use the "src" attribute to load your PDF.

Hope you enjoy.

Best regards,

Jaison

Jaison,

Thanks for your code, but i cant use it because i dont have the OCX file. Cant find to download, im using Acrobat reader XI. There are only .DLL files in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Acrobat\ActiveX and some .NLD (country)files.

Do you have a solution for that :)

Best regards Rick
