Add PDF Viewer to WPF Application

I am new to WPF and trying to add a PDF viewer to my WPF application, but I can't seem to figure out how to do it ... I tried following some tutorials / examples that I found on the Internet, but they do not work for me in different ways reasons ...

For example, I tried to follow the guide at: https://documentation.devexpress.com/#WPF/CustomDocument114328 to add a PDF viewer to Design Time-, he says

drag and drop PdfViewerControl from DX.15.2: Data & Analytics Toolbox tab and drag it to the main window

However, I don't seem to have a tab Data & Analyticsin the toolbox ... there is a tab there Data, but it only has items like Pointer, Chart, ListView, etc. Is there something I need to do to add / enable a toolbar Data & Analyticsin Visual Studio?

I tried to follow the tutorial at: https://documentation.devexpress.com/#WPF/CustomDocument114329 to add a PDF Viewer via code-, it says

Open Solution Explorer, right-click Links, and select Add Link ... to add the PDF Viewer library.

Then, locate the DevExpress.Data.v15.2, DevExpress.Pdf.v15.2.Core, DevExpress.Xpf.DocumentViewer.v15.2.Core, and DevExpress.Xpf.PdfViewer.v15.2 assemblies and activate their check boxes .
