Hi eugzl,

Please refer to the following links discussing the same topic:

Which C# Adobe library should I use to open a PDF in Acrobat Reader 9, 10, and 11?

Which documented interface in the Acrobat SDK are you trying to use? This does not sound like one.

Thanks for replay.

I would like to open multi-pages PDF file in Acrobat Reader in WPF VB Window of VS 2017 project.

So, have you read the relevant part of the SDK? In particular, how did you choose that library?

When I tried to add reference I open Reference Manager of VS 2017 and selected that library. But actual searching online I though I need AxAcroPDFLib.AxAcroPDF library. If so how to get it and embedding to WPF project?

Thanks.

That library comes with Acrobat Reader but it's written for VB. There seems to be some kind of conversion layer for .net users to use VB components but I don't know anything about that except that involves the programmer making an interop file.
