PDF plugins?

[Jayson]

Hi,

I'm trying to serve up PDF files from my ASP pages. Is is possible for the client/user to view these PDF files within their browser (both Netscape/IE) without have Acrobat Reader installed on their system.

I was thinking of maybe some plugins? If there is a PDF plugin for browsers, how do you automatically prompt the client/user to download PDF plugin, i was thinking in the line of say for example, you have a "Flash" enabled site, the user is automtically prompted to download the flash plugin for their browser.

I don't think there's an ASP solution for this (unless you use a browser detection component, of course).

Check

for a javascript way of getting all user plugins. Customize as you see fit, and you should be ok. leo
