    What iis wrong with the following code?

    Response.Clear();

    Response.ClearHeaders();

    Response.ClearContent();

    Response.AddHeader("Content-disposition", "attachment; filename=TestDeviceFilter.pdf");

    Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";

    Response.Buffer = true;

    StringWriter stringWriter = new StringWriter();

    HtmlTextWriter htmlTextWriter = new HtmlTextWriter(stringWriter);

    //this.RenderControl(htmlTextWriter); this is for whole page.

    RV_Reports.RenderControl(htmlTextWriter);

    Response.Write(stringWriter.ToString());

    Response.End();

    I get the following when I try to open the PDF:

    Adobe Reader could not open 'myfile.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged

    Microsoft does not sell PDF dll so you need third party PDF dll in your application to render PDF through the response object. Check below for two but I have not used both.
