storing PDF as blob/image and retrieving.

    Greetings,

    No problem with storing the PDF document as an image, the problem comes in pulling it back out.

    Using an ASP.NET page, I thought I could just set the mime-type to Application/PDF but it's just giving me back the raw data.

    I've looked around and I've seen lots of examples for JPEG/GIF that work fine, is there something different on PDF?

    Any code or links would be appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Chris

    Having done this in several projects, I always seem to forget to give it a file name.  Did you remember to do so?

            Response.Buffer = True
        Response.Clear()
        Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=" & sFileName)
        Response.ContentType = "application/pdf"
        Response.BinaryWrite(x)
        Response.Flush()
        Response.Close()

    where x is the Byte array containg the blob.
