Open a "Generated" PDF

Hi All,

I have an in-built tool to generate PDF Reports.
Once a PDF Report is generated, I have provided an option of "Viewing" the
PDF as well.
Now, once there is a large PDF being generated (say a PDF of 70 Pages or so)
and I try to "View" the PDF then it fails to do so.
The reason being, my code is actually trying to view a PDF File which is
still in the "building" stage and not a completely "built" PDF.

How do I programmatically put a delay into my code so that the process of
"Viewing" the PDF doesnot hang and show the PDF file successfully.

Here is what I have at present to "View" the PDF.
protected void lnkViewPdf_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

string jScript;

jScript = "<script>window.open('" +
Request.ApplicationPath.ToString().ToLower() + stringPDFUrl +
"','','','')</script>";

Page.RegisterClientScriptBlock("keyClientBlock", jScript);

lnkViewPdf.Visible = false;

}

Please help me how would I tweak the code so that there is a delay while
"Viewing the PDF" just after the PDF is generated.

Any leads on this would be very helpful.

Thanks in advance,
Kuldeep
