Paste PDF to textbox

[rogerm]

I have a simple need to cut and paste stuff to a textbox-including PDF stuff with out buying software to convert to text and then paste.

Any other way to perform? Can you paste a PDF to a picture box?

I'm pretty sure (although not 100% certain, so correct me if I'm wrong) that the picture box has no PDF support what so ever. To my understanding you'd either need a 3rd party API or a good knowledge of the PDF file structure so you could get it to display as a TIFF or something in the picture box.

I'm guessing it would be the same for the copy and pasting into a textbox. Again though, I'm not 100% certain on this.
