Examples

This example (DocumentDownload.ashx) demonstrates how to use the GetDocumentAsPdf() method to create a download page for PDF documents stored in RAD PDF without a PdfWebControl instance.

This example assumes that the query string is a RAD PDF document key.

C#
Copy
<%@ WebHandler Language="C#" Class="DocumentDownload" %>

using System;
using System.Web;

using RadPdf.Data.Document;
using RadPdf.Integration;

public class DocumentDownload : IHttpHandler
{
    public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context) 
    {
        // Get query string (which we presume to be the document key for this example)
        string queryString = context.Request.Url.Query;

        // Trim leading ? from querystring
        queryString = queryString.Substring(1);

        // Declare variables
        string fileName;
        byte[] pdfData;

        // Create storage adapter instance
        using(PdfStorageAdapter adapter = new PdfStorageAdapter())
        {
            // Get document filename
            fileName = adapter.GetDocumentProperties(queryString).DocumentFileName;

            // Get bytes from storage for the document
            pdfData = adapter.GetDocumentAsPdf(queryString);
        }

        // Add Content-Type
        context.Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";

        // Add header to indicate download (the filename parameter can not contain spaces in many browsers)
        context.Response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + fileName.Replace(' ', '_') + ".pdf");

        // Output pdf to response
        context.Response.BinaryWrite(pdfData);

        // Set response status code
        context.Response.StatusCode = 200;
    }

        {
            return true;
        }
    }
