The Rich Text Format (RTF) Specification provides a format for text and graphics interchange that can be used with different output devices, operating environments, and operating systems. Make an RTF file in Wordpad... Just type a few characters then hit save, and use the rich text format. Then, open that file in NOTEPAD. Create a new string variable in your VB program, lets call it strRTFBox.

strRTFBox = (copy the header ONLY from the RTF opened in NOTEPAD here).

To open .pdf file in Vb

Option Explicit
Private Declare Function ShellExecute Lib "shell32.dll" Alias "ShellExecuteA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal lpOperation As String, ByVal lpFile As String, ByVal lpParameters As String, ByVal lpDirectory As String, ByVal nShowCmd As Long) As Long
Const SW_SHOWNORMAL = 1

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Call launchIt("c:\yourFile.pdf")
End Sub

Private Sub launchIt(strPathAndFile As String)
    ShellExecute Me.hwnd, vbNullString, strPathAndFile, vbNullString, "C:\", SW_SHOWNORMAL
End Sub

Hope this helps.
