    Firstly, press on the pdf file in the solutions explorer. Propeties of the file should be as following:

    Build Action: Content 
    Copy to output directory: Copy always
    

    The path to the file in users computer will be Application.StartupPath & "\Resources\MyPDF.pdf"

    Not sure I did not forget something, so tell me if it works :)


    EDIT: I see a lot of people are having trouble with this so here is the simplest way I know to deploy a file together with .net program in visual studio:

    1. Drag and drop the file to the solutions explorer
    2. Press on the file in the solutions explorer and modify it's propeties to:

      Build Action: Content;
      Copy to output directory: Copy always

    3. The path to the file to be used in code will be Application.StartupPath & "\filename.txt"
    I think there is a way to do it without Application.StartupPath, which may cause problems somehow, but i don't know how

    Wah!!! Great And finally I am able to open any file in other machine
    I did this by ordinary methods so I was failed I am going to explain for those who wana learn:
    1)= I add PDF file by clicking on properties in solution explorer, then I select Resources, In Resources I add "Add Existing Item" So PDF is added to my project in "Resources" folder

    2)= After that I click on PDF in solution explorer and Change Build Action to : Content (even none also works) and Copy to output directory to: Copy always (As suggested by you :))

    3)= So whats wrong, actually compiler make folder outside bin folder and we all paste only Release folder(when we deploying, I actually do this lol), so i just cut(Ctrl+X) Resource folder and paste inside in Release folder, and call by this code:

    Process.Start("Resources\MyPDF.pdf")

    I am sure if we copy the PDF file directly in Release folder so this will also work with this code:

    Process.Start("MyPDF.pdf")

    I am sure this will help for those who are in search of this!
    Thank you guys who help me. Jazakallah
