[C#] Open Pdf file in WinForm without Adobe Acrobat Reader

Question

1.00/5 (1 vote)

See more:

I want to display a PDF file in a Winform. Because the terminal can't install the unpermitted software I need to show the PDFs without using Acrobat Reader.

How can I do this?

By using the 3rd party control or converting it to an image first?

I need your help!
Thanks in advance!
