Hi Jody,

Thank you for considering Aspose.PDF.

Well, Aspose.PDF for .NET does not provide any visual tool / control to view the PDF file in Win Forms. It is a tool / API to generate new and manipulate existing PDF files programmatically.

One workaround you may try via Aspose.PDF for .NET is to convert the resultant Pdf file into images and use any ImageViewer Control to display the resultant images on you form. Please see the following documentation link regarding details on how to convert PDF to Images and see if it fits your need.

Aspose.PDF DOM links:

Convert all PDF pages to JPEG Images

Convert all PDF pages to PNG Images

Convert all PDF pages to single TIFF Image

Aspose.Pdf.Facades Links:

Convert PDF Pages to Different Image Formats (Facades)

Convert PDF File to Single TIFF Image (Facades)

Sorry for the inconvenience,

Hi Jody,

Adding more to Nausherwan’s comments, Aspose.Pdf for .NET provides the feature to Create PDF documents from scratch, manipulate/edit existing PDF documents and it also offers the feature to convert PDF files into various output formats (image, HTML, Doc, XLS, Tex etc…); however, it is not a visual
component.

Nevertheless, our sister company GroupDocs.com offers a viewer app which you may consider including in your application to view the PDF files.

Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance.
