I would like to embed PDF ( which are receipt of the customers ), to be embedded as image in report , this could be more then one.
This should be shown as image not PDF icon on the report because we want to send this to customer.
Please let me know if this can be done.
Of course you can do this.
Just use an unbound object frame, type: Adobe Acrobat Document, and select your PDF.
Note that both you and the client will need an appropriate PDF reader to be able to view the PDF (Adobe Acrobat DC will do).

For many website that allow users to upload PDF files, for example, hiring website that allow users to upload their CV in PDF format, and many academic conference website that allow users to submit papers in PDF format, once the upload button is clicked, it is very common to see something like "the PDF file is being converted...". And after a while, the uploaded PDF is ready for preview through a link. And when such link is clicked, it will usually open a new webpage and display the PDF in formats such as HTML.
I am curious of the following:
Why PDF needs to be "converted", why can't the website just accept the PDF and then store it for preview, just like regular FTP server?
What is really happening when an PDF is being converted? Will any information be lost?
Thank you!
Most of the questions in stackoverflow or in other forums, show how to generate views and sends them by email.
But my goal is to generate a PDF from a view with the media=print format and sends it in attachment by email.
I have a view that displays a report.
I use CSS Print to display this report in a print format. (Basically I display some elements and hide others).
How can I generate a PDF from this view (with format media=print) and send it by e-mail in attachment.
I am using ActionMailer to send emails and iTextSharp to generate PDFs
I also had the same problem and did a lot of googling. but could not find a proper solution. There was a 3rd party dll called "PDFGenerator" but the output is not neat and nice.
So I chose another solution.
I created a report file(.rdlc) with the UI i want print it as a pdf by the code.
Here is my sample code

I'm using Prawn to generate invoices as PDFs on the fly, which open in Adobe Acrobat. Is there a quick way to have that same invoice display as HTML, or at least be viewable from within my web app while retaining the layout, rather than opening up a new window/PDF? I've been unable to find any good example or suggestions. Thanks for your time and assistance.
use send_data in your controller action to open required files in the browser.
Check out the following SO question for more info
We need to set up a page to make some highly confidential documents (PDF, Excel, Word) available for viewing only.
The page/documents needs to be as secure as possible (no save, no print etc). We recon that we can't stop print-screen, but hopefully we can limit most of the other options.
How do you best do this? I have currently only two options that I am considering:
Open the documents inside an IFrame and experiment with javascript and css
Create a viewer in Silverlight (or Flash)
If any of you have some ideas on how to achieve this, please tell me. It will be much appreciated!
Word and Excel don't offer a lot of security. I would convert everything you want secured into a PDF and use something like the PDF viewer referenced in this question: Flash document viewer. It's an open source plugin that will allow you to disable save and print and should go a long way towards deterring users from attempting to copy the documents.
I have a web application coded in C#/ASP.NET. The application basically exports a PDF file when the user click on Save. It then reloads a DIV, putting the EMBED (with the src pointing to the newly generated pdf file) in it. Sometimes the embed area just gets black and I get this window from Acrobat Reader: http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/3359/acreader.jpg. What does it mean? Has anyone ever see this?
embedding PDF's in web pages is pretty rubbish overall. Try using the open source lib FlexPaper instead;
