I want to open a PDF document when I click on a button.

I know the way to open a word document but couldn't apply the same method to open a PDF document.

If anyone can help me regarding this matter it would be a great help to me.

Thank you

If you are simply looking to open a PDF file in it's associated application such as Adobe Reader, then you can use this.

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("C:\\MyPDF.pdf")

If you are trying to manipulate the PDF file after opening it then you can use the library ITextSharp as suggested by adatapost.
