If you want to open PDF document file in a PictureBox, you need to convert the PDF document to an image format that supported by .NET framework. Since the native .NET classes don’t support loading PDF files, you may want to use SDK to convert the PDF files to any supported image format then display them in a PictureBox control. Using LEADTOOLS you can do the conversion with few lines of code similar to this: RasterCodecs _codecs = new RasterCodecs(); RasterImage _img = _codecs.Load(@ "C:\Users\Public\Documents\LEADTOOLS Images\leadtools.pdf" ); _codecs.Save(_img, @ "C:\Users\Public\Documents\LEADTOOLS Images\leadtools.JPG" , RasterImageFormat.Jpeg411, 24); They also have an advanced Document Viewer control that you may want use instead of using PictureBox.
