You can use the IAC to do this. Look up the AVDoc.OpenInWindowEx function and one for the browser. Use this function to display a PDF window in a VB application. You can display it without any toolbars or menus, but you can't keep the user from displaying them if they know how, since this is the standard Reader/Acrobat UI.

fwiw —
"command line" parameters

These are all but non-existent for Adobe Reader / Acrobat.

You may want to ask at the Acrobat SDK Forum.
