How can I open a PDF document that I've created in code-behind in Adobe Reader?

Right-click the PDF, choose Open With > Choose default program or another app in. 2. Choose Adobe Acrobat Reader DC or Adobe Acrobat DC in the list of programs, and then do one of the following: (Windows 10) Select Always use this app to open .
Click Internet in the left panel of the Preferences menu and then select Internet Settings. Select the Programs tab. Click Manage Add-Ons and choose Acrobat Reader in the list of add-ons. Click Disable to ensure PDFs won't be opened in a browser.
Select all the text from your PDF by pressing "Ctrl-A," including the hidden words, and use "Ctrl-C" to copy the text. Paste the text into an open Word document by pressing "Ctrl-V." This will transfer all of the text in your PDF document, including hidden text that has been revealed, to a new document in Word.
If you want to open a pdf with the application that has a file association with it, do the following:
Process.Start("C:\foo\bar\mybook.pdf")
If you want to open a specific application instead (like Adobe Reader when you don't have a file association) do the same thing by passing the pdf file path as a command line parameter. You'll need to get the path to AcroRd32.exe from the registry because people may have different versions installed, or installed it to a different location.
Process.Start("C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe", _
"C:\foo\bar\mybook.pdf")
The first option is generally better, because your software will respect whatever pdf reader your end-users have selected on their computer, or they may not have it installed at all.
