I'm faced with the same problems as above, I have code working fine when adding the library on my dev machine, with PDF files showing perfectly inside a windows form. I only need to print / view. How do I redistribute the required (dll) files for people who dont have Acrobat Installed? I'm using visual basic 2005 express edition.

If I read the link correctly, legally you can't distribute Acrobat Reader w/o a license. You could add some code to test if the workstation running your app has the objects you need before you load the form that uses the Acrobat objects. If the object is not there or the incorrect version, have them download the reader from Adobe.
