Did you mean open a PDF file using LabVIEW? or Bringing a PDF file in front panel?

You'll need an Acrobat PDF Viewer ActiveX control. Put an ActiveX control on the front panel, then browse to Acrobat viewer to insert it. Then use properties and methods to gain some control over it.

You don't need the open and close as the object always 'lives' in the front panel, but otherwise pretty much like that.

It's going to be hard to say anything about that problem without the code and the PDF. Is there an error?

Works for me (haven't tested your VI, but it should be just the LoadFile).

 

Sometimes it takes a while, but eventually it displays. I don't think there's much that can be done about that. The API is primitive.
