When i use AxAcroPDF1 in VB.net to open a PDF inside a form it

  • 0

When i use AxAcroPDF1 in VB.net to open a PDF inside a form it gives me an error.
This only happens on Windows 7 64 bit. I have been told to compile as a x86 application but i cannot do that as i have several other DLL’s in the program that are not 64 bit specific and so the build falis.

I have also tried using a browser in VB.net , it opens fine in XP, bit widows 7 it opens a new window and it’s maximized and therefore the content behind get hidden

Any ideas on how to open the PDF inside a form in win xp and Win 7 , 32 bit and 64 bit ?
