I have a file that I can get to with the UNC \mypath\myfile. I retrieve the path with c# and assign it to a link. The browser opens the file inside itself (ie display in the browser) without problem. But, when I try and save to \mypath\myfile I am prompted to save it locally. If I view the file outside of the browser (IE 7) I can edit and save as expected, again, via the UNC.

What I trying to do is use iframe to display the file from my UNC (file:///\mypath\myfile), which does work, but now I can’t edit it. Outside the browser I can.

Is there anyway to save a PDF when displaying it inside the browser? I also tried a button to use the save method on the pdf, but it did not work.

Thank you.

I am using IE 7 and Adobe Professional 7.1.0.

  1. When you open a file via a web browser the web browser downloads the file locally, then sends a local file path to the application that opens it. Even in the case you are using a UNC in your href Adobe does not get that UNC path to save back to, it is getting a local machine path. Keep in mind the browser does the same thing even if the UNC is a local machine path.

    I don’t think that the behavior you want is possible.
