Show Adobe PDF file in VB and save it to SQL Sever

Hi guys,

Does anyone know how to show a Adobe pdf file or picture in VB? Do I need any additional control?

In addition, I want to save the pdf file in SQL Server 7.0 database. If we can treat the pdf file like general picture (like Bmp or others), there should be no problem. But it seems that SQL Sever doesn't think pdf is a picture file type. Can you help me?

Thank you.

OK, I made it through by myself. I added a control to my project:

Acrobat Control for ActiveX (file name: pdf.ocx)

It will show PDF file. To save this file to DB, just like to save a general image.

I have added the pdf.ocx in my program as well, but I cant seem to populate on a VB form. Can you tell me how you did that?

The code for me is fairly simple. I am using pdf.ocx version 5.0.5.452

Code:

---

               
                pdfImage.Visible = True
                Call pdfImage.LoadFile(strFullyQualifiedFileName)
