CODE Imports System.IO Imports System.Diagnostics Public Class Form1 Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Dim pdf As Byte() = My.Resources.SamplePdf Using tmp As New FileStream("test.pdf", FileMode.Create) tmp.Write(pdf, 0, pdf.Length) End Using Process.Start("test.pdf") End Sub End Class

Add the PDF to solution and change its Build Action Property to Content, then we can use simple code PdfViewer.src = Application.StartupPath.ToString + "\OctroiLetter.pdf" In this way the PDF is deployed along with the application.
