Hello,

Our company is looking for a free, open source, PDF Viewer-control to display PDF-files in our forms.
Very important thing is that the control must be (f.e.) Adobe-independent. So no prerequisites needed...
AND it must run in .NET 4.0 !

The control must be able to ...
- Zoom in/out using the mouse-scroll or keyboard shortcut and also in code
- have page navigation-functionality
- Have printing-functionality
- 'Save As'-functionality
- have rotation (CW/CCW)-functionality

Does anyone know such a control ???

I already tried the following-control, but this one isn't .NET 4.0-ready, unless some else proves the contrary ;-)
PDF Viewer Control Without Acrobat Reader Installed - CodeProject
 
I've taken a look at the Foxit PDF SDK but I noticed Foxit only has a ActiveX and not a real .NET-component for the PDF-viewer.
I managed to add the control to my Windows Form and it works except the SaveAs-button is always disabled.
The FoxIt-forum is also not very active, so getting support will also be hard, I reckon.

Does anyone have any idea what the pricing is like ? We need over 100 client licenses. In what price range are we getting here ?
