Newbie question - displaying a PDF file in a form.

This PDF library looks really nice, but I am struggling to get started. My task is simple - to load a PDF file and display it in a Delphi form. Could some kind person give me some typical lines of code that will do this with SynPdf.pas please? It seems to do a lot of things!
Many thanks
Brian

Re: Newbie question - displaying a PDF file in a form.

The purpose of this library is to create pdf file from scratch, not read, modify or view them.
See http://synopse.info/forum/viewtopic.php?id=135 and
Sorry.

So you'll have to use an external viewer, like Acrobat Reader Active X (which is free).
Or you can try this one:

or even http://www.gnostice.com/PDFtoolkit_VCL.asp
It does exactly what you need.
But it cost some money.
