A PDF Viewer Component by TallComponents BV

The UI-less document control represents the PDF document and lets you open, close, save, print and navigate the PDF document programmatically. All three other controls provide a view of this document. The UI controls work together; clicking a node in the bookmarks viewer for example, causes the pages viewer to display the corresponding page. Similar behaviour applies to the thumbnails viewer.

In addition to rendering PDF rapidly and accurately and providing the interactivity that is part of the PDF format, PDFReaderControls.NET is designed with the developer in mind and will help you add PDF reader functionality to your application as easily and quickly as possible.

Standard edition vs. Professonial edition
There are two editions of PDFReaderControls.NET: Standard and Professional. They differ in terms of functionality and licensing. The Standard edition offers basic viewing and printing. The Professional edition adds support for form filling, and interactive annotations.

Both editions require a developer license. To redistribute the Standard edition with your application, you need a single redistribution license. This allows you to redistribute a single application to an unlimited number of seats
