dabo.ui.dPdfWindow
However, it only works on Windows, and not very well (it's an ActiveX
control that instantiates Internet Explorer and Adobe Acrobat Reader).

There are Linux tools to create image files from PDFs. You could do
on-the-fly conversion and display the bitmap.
Just an idea.
Or live with displaying the pdf in an external editor, using e.g.
dabo.lib.reportUtils.previewPdf()

I like the external viewer. No overhead and the viewers do a better
job that we could.

Does anyone have suggestions on how to display a PDF from VFP? Recommend
some possible control alternatives?
Am needing to display a PDF, print, but NOT save.
TIA,
Regards,
Desmond

Can you get away with doing a ShellExecute and open it up that way?

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.

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