Good morning.
I have a situation that is not how to solve.
Currently I have a webservice that generates a PDF file, converts it to an array of BYTE () and returns as a result.
In ASP.NET. I had no trouble converting the byte array () in the PDF and display it in the Navigator. and then send the PDF to be printed by the user.

now I'm developing an application (WindowsForms) must display the PDF file in a PictureBox or a screen printing

I have referenced the web service in my application and this is what I do:

VB

Dim WsAuto As New WsPDF.AutosSoapClient 'this reference has a PDF Method: WsAuto.PDF()
Dim Ws As New WsPDF.DataAuto ' this one, is to Fill the data in the PDF File
Ws.Nombre1 = "NAME OF DRIVER" 'Poliza.NombreConductor
Ws.Licencia1 = "DRIVER NUMBER" 'Poliza.NoLicencia
Ws.FechaNacimiento1 = "1983-09-27" ' Poliza.FechaNacimiento
Ws.Ocupacion1 = "Systems" 'Poliza.Ocupacion
pboxImagen.Image = Image.FromStream(New MemoryStream(WsAuto.PDF(Ws, WsPDF.TipoPoliza.Resto)))
'WsPDF.TipoPoliza.Resto, is only for select the template the options are: 1,2 and 99

that's my problem
I do not know how to pass an array of bytes () to a picturebox or Print Document.
regards.

Do you have any particular reason to work with PDF. You can, but why?

I don't think you can just directly put an array of bytes that contains an PDF into an picture box. You'd have to first convert the PDF into an image. Why don't you instead save the PDF to a temporary location and then just open it with adobe? (Yes, this requires users to have adobe reader...but that's not too drastic a requirement anymore. Most people already have it on their computers.)
