This may be simple for most, but this is my final word on how to display a PDF in a browser window. You have to pass in the server path string serverpath = Server.MapPath(path);

public
static
void DisplayPDF(string pdfPath, HttpResponse Response)

{

FileInfo fileInfo = new
FileInfo(pdfPath);

if (fileInfo.Exists)

{

Response.ClearHeaders();

Response.ClearContent();

Response.Clear();

Response.BufferOutput = true;

Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";

Response.AddHeader("content-length", fileInfo.Length.ToString());

Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "inline;filename=\"filename.pdf\"");

Response.Flush();

Response.TransmitFile(pdfPath);

}

}
