title: Loading PDF files into picturebox in VB6
body: <p>I know that in the "Insertable Objects" tab on the Components window, that there is "Adobe Acrobat Document," but that isn't really what I'm looking for. I'm not sure what the "Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Browser Control Type Library 1.0" (created an error when I tried to use it) is in the "Controls" tab.</p>
  
  <p>Here is the functionality that I need:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>read how many pages are in a PDF file</li>
  <li>import each page as a background into a picturebox</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I saw this here on SO regarding converting PDF's to TIFF's, so I'm not sure if this would be the best way to go? <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2...rt-pdf-to-tiff">https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2...rt-pdf-to-tiff</a> ; I downloaded ImageMagick and am not sure how to use it, but I'll be looking into it (not sure whether I have to use "Shell" on ImageMagick's convert.exe or if there is a better way [like using a DLL])</p>
  
  <p>I also saw this: <a href="http://www.quickpdflibrary.com/faq/c...age-to-pdf.php" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.quickpdflibrary.com/faq/c...age-to-pdf.php</a></p>
  
  <p>This one looked promising, but it appears to be for .NET: <a href="http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/For...-c1d98a90a2a2/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/For...-c1d98a90a2a2/</a></p>
  
  <p>I'll be working on this, but anything to point me in the right direction is appreciated and detailed information is greatly appreciated -- maybe even rewarded with a bounty.  ;)</p>
