Display a pdf through byte stream in IE7 ?

[jackjoesh]

I want to display a pdf through byte stream in IE7. For example:
.........
Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
Response.AddHeader("Content-Type", "application/pdf");
Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "inline;filename=file.pdf");
.........

It works well in IE6/IE7/FIREFOX+adobe reader6.0. But it will get a save dialog in browser to force me to download the pdf file in IE7+adobe reader8.0. That means I can't see pdf in web browser, I can only save the pdf file. I can't get the reason, who can help me? Thank you!

Try the following:

Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
Response.AddHeader("Content-Type", "application/pdf");
Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "inline");
Response.AddHeader("Content-Length", ByteStream.Length.ToString); <== (where "ByteStream" is your bytestream variable)

I'm not too keen on the code syntax, but I believe specifying that last line will send the bytestream to the browser window (or Adobe window, depending on the Reader setting about browser integration). Hope this helps!

Remove the content dispostion. That really ONLY works for attachments
