HELP: make asp.net 2.0 open a pdf


Question

This' in asp.net 2.0 c#

Is there a way to code a hyperlink to a pdf that will open it for viewing but the document will then be auto. deleted if it's closed?

Or how to specify the document to be downloaded to a specific path only (ex: the browser' cache) as viewing (not like in OS X if we click on a pdf link it download the file auto. to desktop then view it, and still leave it there on desktop when things' closed, which is annoying if the users just browse through the document but not actually want to save it, unless they "save as.." by themselves).

I believe the user can do this by changing the settings in the browser themselves but is there a way to code this in the site in default (ex: for security purposes etc.)

Thanks!

Once the file makes to the users computer, all bets are off of what you can do with the file. Not sure if there are any security settings within the PDF file (set when the PDF if created) that can prevent the storage on the users computer.

    • Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) 18.1.1.5 by Razvan Serea Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) is a utility for completely removing AMD/NVIDIA/INTEL graphics drivers and related packages from your system, attempting to eliminate all leftovers (including registry entries, folders and files, driver store). Though AMD/NVIDIA/INTEL drivers can usually be removed via the Windows Control Panel, this uninstaller tool was created for situations where standard uninstall fails, or when you need to fully remove NVIDIA or ATI graphics card drivers. After using this driver cleaner, your system will behave as though it’s the first time you’re installing a new driver—similar to a fresh Windows installation. As with all such tools, we recommend creating a restore point beforehand, allowing you to undo changes if issues arise. If you're having trouble installing an older or newer driver, try it—there are reports that it resolves such problems. Recommended usage: The tool can be used in Normal mode but for absolute stability when using DDU, Safemode is always the best. Make a backup or a system restore (but it should normally be pretty safe). It is best to exclude the DDU folder completely from any security software to avoid issues. You do NOT need to uninstall the driver prior using DDU. Requirements: .NET Framework 4.8 Compatible with Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10, and 11 (32-bit or 64-bit) Note: Using on Insider Preview builds is at your own risk. Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) 18.1.1.5 changelog: Intel: Added NPU presence detection before removing shared DLL files (these were previously left to prevent potential NPU-related issues). Intel: Added optional NPU removal Improved "Extension" driver removal process. Updated several translations.

    • I just ordered a new MSI X870 board, hasn't even arrived yet. I checked the downloads page, and it has the firmware released on 6/11/2025 including the updated AGESA code.
    • There used to be an independent video game store in West Edmonton Mall around 20 years ago, I'm not sure when it went out of business, but they were selling console & PC games for $70±, I think it was so they could cover their rent!
