I want to display Pdf file inside iframe control.I have added my code like this below.

<iframe width=500 height=500 runat="server" id="myPDF" src="pdf_003.pdf"></iframe>
in page_load
myPDF.Attributes.Add("src", "pdf_003.pdf");
When i run the project, then the pdf file is not visible inside the iframe.Instead of this, it shown the save as dialog box for save to disk or open in pdf reader.
it is correctly shown in internet explorer but not any other browser...

You need to change Acrobat Reader's settings so it will display PDF files on the browser itself.

Wrapping contents of cshtml in pdf viewer of Syncfusion

How can I connect cshtml content to ejs-pdfviewer, I want to use it as andvantage to be able to print I want I have set into the PdfViewer with syncfusion, is it possible?'
Is there any attribute I have to add to enable this functionality, or is there a special way to achieve this in syncfusion?
Below is the cshtml code :
<ejs-pdfviewer id="container" style="height: 600px"
serviceUrl="/api/PdfViewer"
documentPath="#Path"
enablePrint="true">
</ejs-pdfviewer>
Currently, PDF Viewer do not have support to display the cshtml page directly. However, we can convert the cshml to PDF and then we can load that PDF document in PDF Viewer. We have created the sample for the same and shared in the following location,

In the above sample click on ‘ConvertToPDF’ to load the cshtml page in PDF Viewer.

Automatically save PDF displayed in WebBrowser Control?

I have a C# WinForms app that runs the WebBrowser control to automatically login, navigate through some pages, and ultimately arrive to page that displays a PDF. I would like to automatically save this PDF whenever I arrive to this page but I have been unable to do this automatically.
Is there a way to automatically click "save" in the webBrowser1.ShowSaveAsDialog() window? Or is there another way to save the PDF that I have successfully displayed in the webbrowser?
Additionally, I have tried to download the PDF using WebClient but this returns a HTML page with failed user/password info. Also, webBrowser1.Document is null so I'm unable to access the document as I would other pages in this routine.

Clicking a link in PDF file

Some help needed with clicking link in downloaded pdf file.
With C#, Selenium and AutoIt , i have downloaded a pdf file. Now i want to open that pdf file and click on dynamic link that is placed in page 2.
I was able to open pdf but didnt got to know how to click link in pdf. some help needed
Web driver does not support clicking links inside a PDF - use an open source pdf API - Apache pdfbox- this will extract all the links and then you can navigate further with webdriver.

Displaying a Visio document in a browser other than IE?

On my site, I'm displaying several different types of files in the browser, like images, text files, etc. One of the files I want to display is a Visio document.
To display it on a page, I'm creating an iframe with the source set to the url of the .vsd file. This works fine in IE, but not in any other browser. IE will display the file, but the other browsers just open the download dialog to save the file.
Is there a way to embed a .vsd file in other browsers?

Releasing displayed pdf files in webbrowser control

I have a webbrowser control in my winforms application to display a selected pdf file, after this i want to move the pdf file to an other location.
When i trie to move the pdf file it is giving me an error that the file is in use. I tried to make the webbrowser navigate to a other page before it is moved but it still give me this error that the file is used by an other process.
How can i release this pdf file so i can just move it? Disposing the webbrowser didn't do the trick.
They say "Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Reader are designed to continue running for a few minutes after you close the browser window in which you viewed PDF files."
The workaround for this seems to be :
Copy the PDF to a temporary file and display it, and then when you navigate away, it doesn't matter if AcroRD32.exe holds onto the PDF for a few minutes because you can still do what you need with the original!
The following code releases for me the pdf file, which was displayed in WebBrowser, so I can move it:
webBrowser.Navigate("about:blank")
Also see: How can i delete the file that has been navigated in a webbrowser control?
I have had a similiar problem, which was that the form with opened pdf file in browser was hidden and then a new instance of the form was opened, which triggered the same file locked error. For me Disposing of the WebBrowser control just before hiding the form helped.
