Re: PDF Documents

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Hey John;

If I open a web browser...click Open, browse, navigate to the PDF file
manually, then open, the document is displayed within the browser.

However, when I programmatically try it, I get the download option.

I don't want the download option. I want to view the document in the browser
with the plug in.

Thanks for any help,
Austin

Your browser probably needs to be set to act the way you want it.

Take a read of this from Adobe whihc should help you

Hello;

I am *very* new to website programming.

Coming from a client/server background, I am having some difficulties.

I know this is not asp.net related, but I figured someone would be able to
help me with this as I am tearing all of my hair out!

I am simply trying to load a PDF document into a web browser.

I am using the following code:

<% Response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition",
"attachment;filename=C005FA05087FHQ.pdf")
Response.ContentType = "application/pdf"
Response.WriteFile("C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\eglobal\PDF\C005FA05087FHQ.pdf")
Response.End()%>

I can *somewhat* achieve what I want...but the above code does not open
pdf
in the current webbrowswer....instead it opens the document in Adobe
reader....in a seperate window.

Can anyone help me? I would appreciate it.

I posted this in the general newsgroup, but noone answered.

Thanks,
Austin
