On a form as part of an VFP app... Have used the MS web browser control as a test. Looks promising....

FROM VFP or WITHIN VFP?

Please provide a little more details and you might get more appropriate

suggestions.

You could embed an IE control within a VFP form, and have that open a PDF.

Adobe Reader also has/had embeddable controls.

If you just want to launch the PDF, Matt's suggestion of ShellExecute is

the best. If they have installed Acrobat or FoxReader or whatever, the PDF

launches in the user's choice of programs.
