To open and print a PDF from VB you can look in the ActiveX folder of your reader installation. Something like C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 5.0\Acrobat\ActiveX\PDF.ocx
To read and write to a PDF file you will need either parse out the file your self (GOOD LUCK) or you can download the ADOBE SDK from
Contained withing the SDK are VB examples that should show you the way in what you are trying to to.
There are also many 3rd party vendors that have applications that you can use to modify PDF files. One of them is

Thanks for the reply. I tried something like this
Dim myObj as New PDF
myObj.LoadFile ("D:\XXX\ZZZ.pdf"
But nothing happened (the PDF file didn't get loaded). I would be thankful if you can tell me how this really works out. All I needed is to create a instance of the Acrobat Application and open a PDF file.

Did you install the ADOBE SDK as suggested?
If not what reference to PDF are you using? Let me know if this helps

To open and print a PDF from VB you can look in the ActiveX folder of your reader installation. Something like C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 5.0\Acrobat\ActiveX\PDF.ocx
Right Click on the toolbox (from within VB) and select components. A dialog should come up and you should be on the controls tab. Select the browse button and navigate your way to the above OCX wherever you have it installed.
You can then use code simular to this to open up the file.
