Dear Groups,
I am attempting to allow the end user to save or open a pdf document
from the server. However, when the file is downloaded it is not a
pdf, but rather nonsensical garbage. Also, if attempting to save the
file, it only gives the option of file type "text document".
I've run the app on other machines and am fresh out of ideas.
Thanks in advance,
Darren
Code as follows:
Session["FilePath"]=Server.MapPath("../docPDF/") +
e.CommandName.ToString();
Response.ContentType="application/pdf";
Response.AddHeader( "content-disposition","attachment; filename=" +
Session["FilePath"].ToString());
FileStream sourceFile = new
FileStream(@Session["FilePath"].ToString(), FileMode.Open);
long FileSize;
FileSize = sourceFile.Length;
byte[] getContent = new byte[(int)FileSize];
sourceFile.Read(getContent, 0, (int)sourceFile.Length);
sourceFile.Close();
Response.BinaryWrite(getContent); 3 913
Try putting Response.Clear() at the beginning of your code, and
Response.End() after it to make sure nothing except the PDF file is being
output.

Hi Steve,
Thanks so much for your most prompt reply.
When I added the Response.Clear() and Response.End(), the following
resulted:
1) Registers as type Adobe Acrobat Control for Active X
2) Allows me to save, but the default document name is "Default", and
file type is Adobe Acrobat Document
3) When the user chooses to open rather than save, it ignores the
request and shows the save dialogue box.
Any ideas?
Thanks again,
Darren
