Question

The following code creates a pdf that downloads after you press the link / button.
How do you make it happend that the pdf opens inside the browser without the automatic download?

'
    ' GET: /PDF

    Function Index() As FileResult
        Dim filestream As Stream = generatePDF()

        HttpContext.Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=Lijstmetmensenenmiddelen.pdf")

        Return New FileStreamResult(filestream, "application/pdf")
    End Function

    Private Function generatePDF() As Stream
        '' magic will happen here
        Dim memStream As MemoryStream = New MemoryStream()
        Dim doc As New Document()
        PdfWriter.GetInstance(doc, Response.OutputStream)

        doc.AddCreationDate()

        doc.Open()

        Dim para As New Paragraph()

        para.Add("Dit is een paragrafstring balbalbalal")

        doc.Add(para)

        doc.Close()


        Return memStream

    End Function

Found the answer on this blog : http://nickstips.wordpress.com/2011/01/17/asp-net-mvc-displaying-a-pdf-document-in-the-browser/

HttpContext.Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=Lijstmetmensenenmiddelen.pdf")

should be

HttpContext.Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "Inline; filename=Lijstmetmensenenmiddelen.pdf")
