Free PDF viewers in ASP.net

Tags:

asp.net

I have many PDF documents in binary format which is in the SQL Server 2008 database. I have a gridview in my ASP.net page. When a user clicks on any ID column of the record I need to open the pdf in the browser.

Are there any free PDF viewer controls out there? How can I convert the binary PDF file and display as PDF in the browser.

Thanks

Just return the data to the client with a Content-Type of application/pdf. The client will open it in Adobe Reader or whatever PDF viewer is installed.
