To our knowledge there are no third party components that allow you to view a PDF inside a report. One option might be to convert your PDF to rich text and display it that way using a TppRichText component.
as I understand you right, you want to view a pdf by vcl to bind it in your report application?
I found two products viewing PDF.
1.is from Gnostice, http://www.gnostice.com/PDFtoolkit.asp as a item of their toolkit. I have looked at this product. It worked is fast, but actually could not handle all font types (like adobe). Also they have some problems with justiffication and with som etypes of invers commands. But it is fast and small and it seems that the company will enhance the compatibility.
But both of them are no replacement for the Acrobat Reader, which is slow, and a big set of DLLs but displays most of the pdfs in the correct manner. But also Acrobat as many display problems on complex documents.
