Open PDF via ASP

[CJM]

I'm dynamically creating a PDF file using a 3rd-Party component. I've got
this much working...

However, once the PDF has been created, I want to open it in the browser.
This is where I am struggling...

I can create a page with a link to the PDF, but I dont know how to open the
PDF in the browser directly.

Any ideas?

Chris

Response.redirect http://yoursite.com/yourdoc.pdf

If the user doesn't have Acrobat reader installed then it will just bring up
a download box.

Have you tried a Response.Redirect to the PDF's URL?

Thanks Guys...

I'd already tried Response.Redirect (on my home machine) and it didnt work.
However, displaying a normal link which points to the PDF worked OK, though
it required that the user click on the link.

However, I'm back on my normal development machine, and the very same code
works fine...!

I'm not sure what the problem was/is, but I'll close this thread and create
a new one if the problem persists...

Thanks

Chris
