I am using Acrobat Control For ActiveX Created by Adobe in 1996 by as Adobe System, Inc.  Was a tool created for the developer and was part of the SDK at that time, was not very well documented and always was left to the developer to used.

        No, it was NEVER a tool for developers.  Let me quote from the section entitled "What Uses are not supported by the Acrobat SDK" contained in the Acrobat Developer's FAQ at http://partners.adobe.com/asn/acrobat/sdk/reg/Documentation/Getting_Started/DeveloperFAQ.pdf.

Use of the ActiveX� Control or Netscape plug-in to display a PDF file in an external

application besides Internet Explorer or Netscape. The methods used by Acrobat to

display a PDF file in Netscape and Internet Explorer are intended only for use with these

browsers. Use of the ActiveX Control and Netscape plug-in installed by Adobe Reader is

not licensed to other applications. Development with these interfaces is not supported

and no documentation is available.

Regarding the other OCX that you send me the link I will review again, but so far open a windows without any type of control, have the function to do the majority of my needs but I need to sit down and write a lot of code to make it look like a normal viewer. 
        That is correct.  It provides no UI elements (toolbars, etc.)  You would need to write those yourself - but all the core PDF-related functions are present.

        Also, if you are using the Amyuni printer driver, why not also use their OCX viewer??
