View PDF through ASP

[jgaull1]

I'm very new to ASP but would like to create an ASP web page that takes a PDF file name (full location where file resides) as a parameter and displays the PDF on the screen. What software do I need on the web server? Does anyone have sample code for this? Will the user be able to save the PDF file off or download it? Thanks!

Nothing special needed on the server... clients will need the adobe acrobat reader plugin for their browser, which will usually run on an "install-on-demand" basis if they don't have it.

If you have the full path of the file:

http://mysite.com/path/file.pdf

then just surf on over... if you grab the value from a database, and want to redirect the user to it, then just issue a response.redirect:

<%
response.redirect(&quot;

http://mysite.com/path/file.pdf&quot;)

%>

good luck!
