You'd have to buy a license for the format of the PDF file. Unless you know someone at ADOBE

Nope.

You're already using iTextSharp. All you need to do now is use its libraries and functionalities to display the control. You cannot display it otherwise, as the VB / C# controls have no idea of PDF. Even if you were to try a RichTextBox, you would still have to convert the PDF content to RTF.

My advice would be to interrogate all iTextSharp's capabilities.

* I do actually have a lot of experience with iTextSharp, just in case you're wondering :) Good luck!
