Re: PDF Viewer Control

If you download and install the adobe acrobat pdf viewer, you won't be
prompted whether to save or download a pdf file that was obtained by
clicking a link on the browser - the file will download and
automatically open in acrobat (this also holds true if the link was
initiated via javascript).

If you do have acrobat installed, but are still getting the download
prompt, then the .pdf file extension probably isn't associated with
acrobat on the windows OS you are using. Re-installing acrobat should
fix this.

You can also stream files using XMLHTTP, however, this will also
require you to weaken security settings on your browser that would
enable ADODB.scritping and the scripting.filesystemobject active X
controls, opening you to internet attacks.

I don't think there is a native ASP.NET control that ships with visual
studio that allows you to view pdf files.
