Render Pdf within browser
There are different ways to render Pdf in a browser. In this I’m explaining to render Pdf by fileContent/byte array. In a below example I’m using Index Action which returns the FileContentResult.
public ActionResult Index()
{
Response.Clear();
Response.AddHeader(“Content-Disposition”,“inline; filename=sample.pdf”);
Response.AddHeader(“Content-Type”,“application/pdf”);
Response.ClearHeaders();
Response.AddHeader(“Content-Length”, byteArray.Length.ToString());
FileContentResult result = new FileContentResult(byteArray, “application/pdf”);
return result;
}
That’s it from controller side. Now you have to call you Action to get it rendered on your HTML. You can use different HTML5 tags like :
<iframe>
<iframe src = ‘@Url.Action(“Index”, “Home”)#zoom=150′ width = “100%” height=”525″ id=”iFramePdf” #zoom=”200″ frameBorder=”1″></iframe>
<embed>
<embed src=’@Url.Action(“Index”, “Home”)#zoom=150′ width = “100%” height=”525″ id=”iFramePdf” #zoom=”200″ frameBorder=”1″ type=”application/pdf”/>
<object>
<object data=’@Url.Action(“Index”, “Home”)#zoom=150′ width = “100%” height=”525″ id=”iFramePdf” #zoom=”200″ frameBorder=”1″ type=”application/pdf”>
</object>
Hope this article will help you.
