viewing pdf file

I would like to view a .pdf file from my web page. The .pdf is in an Oracle db...anyone have some sample code or a link that will be useful....

I'm interested in making this happen. Did you ever solve this issue?

This is for a pdf that is stored in an Oracle database...hope this helps.

VB Code:

Private Sub btnPdf_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnPdf.Click
        Dim userid As String
        Dim password As String
        Dim database As String
        userid = Session("username")
        password = Session("password")
        database = Session("database")
        BidId = txtBidId.Text
       
        Dim strConn As String = "Provider=OraOLEDB.Oracle;Persist Security Info=False;User ID=" & userid & ";Password=" & password & "; Data Sour" & _
                            "ce=" & database & ";Extended Properties="""""
        Dim strSQL As String = "select bid_document from PBSS.pbss_bid where bid_id ='" & BidId & "'"
        Dim objConn As New OleDbConnection(strConn)
        Dim objComm As New OleDbCommand(strSQL, objConn)
        Dim objDR As OleDbDataReader
        objConn.Open()
        objDR = objComm.ExecuteReader
       
        Try
            Do While objDR.Read = True
                Dim pdf As String = "bid_package.pdf"
                Response.Clear()
                Response.ContentType = "application/octet-stream"
                Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline;filename=" & Trim(pdf))
                Response.BinaryWrite(objDR("bid_document"))
                Response.Flush()
                Response.End()
            Loop
        Catch es As Exception
            lblerr.Text = ""
            lblerr.Text = (Err.Description)
            objDR.Close()
            objConn.Close()
            Exit Sub
        End Try
        objDR.Close()
        objConn.Close()
        If txtBidId.Text = "" Then
            lblerr.Text = "You must select a Bid from the  " & "<a href=updatelist.aspx>Update Table</a>"
        End If
    End Sub

I was looking a code like that, but my file is on a server or on the pc.

Any help?

Do you have a way of determining whether it's on the server or pc? If it's on the server, a simple Resonse.Redirect to the PDF will do. If it's on the pc, use javascript's document.location.href
