Q: 

Please recommend PDF Viewer active-x control

For a project I need a PDF Viewer active-x control, or a CodeGear VCL control.

I need to be able to view and print PDFs, not create or modify.

One important requirement is that distribution should be royalty free.

Searching on Google shows this is a jungle. I tried a few but ran into problems with them all. Do you use/know one you can recommend?

A: 

well, every Adobe Reader installation adds Active-X control to your system. Just check the list of them. It is called "Adobe PDF Reader"

Note, however, that this is rather limited compared to the full reader.

@Jerry Coffin: Limited, yes, but i think it is enough to show pdf. if application is about editing pdf then control will never be enough.

@Andrey: yes, it will display it -- but even ignoring editing, it's still pretty limited compared to Acrobat *Reader*.
