HI

try this

Create a button like below in your aspx page:

<input type="button" value="Open Pdf" onclick="window.open('openpdf.aspx')" />


Create a aspx page with the name openpdf.aspx, Copy and paste below code on Page_Load of openpdf.aspx

FileInfo fi = new FileInfo(Server.MapPath("yourfile.pdf"));
Response.Clear();
Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline; filename=" + fi.Name);
Response.AddHeader("Content-Length", fi.Length.ToString());
Response.WriteFile(fi.FullName);
Response.End();

You can use  'embed' tag

Follow these steps-

step1: take one Div with runat="Server" attribute

step 2; Set visible false for Div

Step3: Put onr embed tag with setting all details

step 4: Take one LinkButton

Like this-

<div id="div1" runat="server" style="display:none">
<embed id="showPdf" runat="server" src="location"  type="application/pdf" width="1279" height="630"></embed>
</div>

 <asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton1" runat="server" onclick="LinkButton1_Click">LinkButton</asp:LinkButton>

Step 5 :

Write this code-

 protected void LinkButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
     din1.Visible=True;

    }

Try and let me know.
