    To display a PDF inside a Form, you can use "Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Browser Control Type Library 1.0"
    (I had posted a sample in this thread)

    You can also use Windows.Data.Pdf Namespace

    An easy way to load PDF files in Visual Studio projects is to use LEADTOOLS PDF SDK Libraries. (Disclaimer: I work for the vendor of LEADTOOLS).

    If the goal is to quickly display a PDF file on a form in C#, the following code can be used: 

    RasterCodecs codecs = new RasterCodecs();
// _viewer is a control of type Leadtools.Controls.ImageViewer
_viewer.Image = codecs.Load(pdfFileName);

    If more advanced features are needed, there are other classes such as the PDFDocument Class.

    If you would like to try it, there’s a free evaluation edition on this page.
