Question

I have a pdf template included in an Asp.net Solution as: “\solution\pdf\template.pdf”

How can I use this file in the project (such as do a filestream)?

I have done

using iTextSharp.text.pdf;

…

 string pdfTemplate = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~\\pdf\\template.pdf");
   pdfReader = new PdfReader(pdfTemplate);

It gives me error as “Some program is using this file”. I know it is Visual Studio itself. How can I fix this?

Thanks!

Edited:
I thought It would be the path problem. I am using the itextsharp library and I suppose the Pdfreader would generate a file stream to load the file.
