in my experience it is a bad idea. Acrobat PDF is a big application. It would like trying to put Word or Excel inside a browser control.

In context of the Access application - - PDFs are always opened outside of the application in their own window provided by the Operating System. ... not inside the Access application.

In context of the Access application - - the browser control is a tricky object in general that I avoid but when must use it I limit it to opening html.
