    Hi,

    I'm looking for a pdf viewer control to use in our application, here's a few questions:
    1. Can the viewer control be used in VC++?

    Yes, best is using the OCX with a wrapper provided by the MFC. Some customers do it this way.

    2. Can we add watermark when displaying pdf?

    Yes, it is possible to apply a metafile for under/over page printing.

    3. What is the pdf version supported by this control?

    A subset of 1.4. Missing are the more complicated color spaces such as separation, lab. With images JPEG2000 and JBIG is not defined. Indexed images only support normal color mapping, not ranges and domains.

    4. Does it support bookmark or comments in pdf?

    V2 displays the bookmark in a seperate treeview. Comments and annotations other than hyperlinks are not supported.
