I am trying to display an Excel file within a Windows Form, not based with .NET, but just for a desktop application. I need to be able to save the form as a PDF in a location on users personal computer and then also print it out. I don't want the file to open a Excel sheet but for it to look like its part of the form.

I don't think the browser has any relation with the internet. I think it's only an interface. I'd suggest to run it and later, unplug the internet cable and check if it really uses the internet, but I don't think so. – Federico Navarrete Mar 28 '17 at 12:40
