How to Open a PDF in VB


1. Open Visual Basic. If you haven't yet, try to open the PDF file by going to 'File,' then 'Open.' If that doesn't work, continue with the following steps.
2. Download a free add-on to aid in PDF compatibility. These add-ons are widely available online. Save the zip file on your hard drive.
3. Unzip the file with an archive manager such as WinZip. Return to VB.
4. Select 'Product' from the menu bar, then click 'Add File.' Navigate to the file and click 'Open.'
5. Restart VB. Go to 'File,' then 'Open' to open your PDF.
