Open PDF File In Adobe Acrobat On IIS Server From Client
May 3, 2010
I read the thread on this topic and tried using "Process.start(mypdf.pdf)" to open the PDF file. I was able to get "Process.Start()" to work perfectly within VS2008 on the built-in server but not IIS; when I am in the development environment it works great, but when I deploy the application and run it it does not work. What happens when I run outside of the development environment, I can export the PDF file to the directory on the IIS server, and the client can also delete the file from the IIS server, BUT, inbetween the export and the delete commands, I have the Process.start command so that the user can open the file and do whatever they need to do; print it, print partially or save it locally ect.
After it exports the file to the server when the exectue "Process.start" occurs, the screen just blinks and there is no error message? I tried many options using Process.StartInfo but no luck. I also tried to to use Process.Start() with a text file (.txt) and had the same result, so it doesn't look like an adobe acrobat problem. I do have acrobat running on the clients as well as the server. I don't think it is a security issue being the exporting and deleting work. Is this the wrong command to use? The web server is IIS7, I am using VS2008 VB.NET and it is a Web application. I need to demo this to the client in 4 days and I need to have this working.

I am using the code from: [URL] ....
Everything seems to work, expect when I try to open the PDF file Adobe Reader says:
"Adobe reader could not open 'filename.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)."
I tried opening it in Adobe Photoshop and was not able to there either.

I have been presented with a problem which requires me to print PDF files from a server as part of an ASP.NET web service.
The problem is further complicated by the fact that the PDF files I have to print can ONLY be printed using Adobe Reader (they were created using Adobe LiveCycle and have some strange protection in them).
This piece of code seems to do the trick in the Visual Studio development web server, but doesn't do anything when the site's running in IIS. I'm assuming this is probably some sort of permissions issue!?
Dim starter As ProcessStartInfo
Dim Prc As Process
' Pass File Path And Arguments
starter = New ProcessStartInfo("c:program files...AcroRd32.exe", "/t ""test.pdf"" ""Printer""")
starter.CreateNoWindow = True
starter.RedirectStandardOutput = True
starter.UseShellExecute = False
' Start Adobe Process
Prc = New Process()
Prc.StartInfo = starter
Prc.Start()

this is my problem:
I have a link to Open a file (I have found this way cause with a simple link it would have been marked "readonly")
<a href="../DownloadFile.aspx?file=test.xls"> Open file
</a>
The code in the .aspx page permit to download the file with the header
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition",
"attachment; filename=" & file.Name)
So when the user click the link he is prompted wiht a Message box saying:
Open Save
The user click Open...modify the excel cells... but when he wants Save the file (from Excel menu) is saved on a temporary folder on the client pc and not on the server.
Is it possible to save the file directly on the server or not?
Ps. The "real" problem might be that when the user click "Open" in the prompt tha file is first downloaded in the temp folder and then presented to the user

Getting a file from the client to the server in asp.net mvcWhat is the best way to get a file from the client to the server in asp.net mvc?Will hosting allow you to save a file to their server these days or do you have to save the file on their server? Or is cloud storage the only way (of course then how do you process the file without getting it from the cloud).Also, are there any really good examples of uploading a file, reading it and putting it in the database for asp.net mvc?

I'm getting tired figuring out this error. Well, Basically. I have uploaded my ASP.net website to a server (IIS installed) as well as the VB project I made.
BOTH are connecting to a DB named CLIENTS.
the website uses a datagrid to show data, while the VB Project updates the DB based on a monitored folder.
The Problem is If the website is opened first the VB project shows an error "Unable to open the physical file (MDF). Operating system error 32 (error not found)" and Vice Versa if the VB project is first started.

I am trying to open this file which exists and runs fine on my development machine. But when I deploy to my VPS with IIS8 I get this error:
An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007000B)
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.
Exception Details: System.BadImageFormatException: An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007000B)
I copied the same data.db file from my machine to the server which worked for me. Do I need to do anything in IIS8 to recognize this file and let me use it?
Code:
Using conn = New SQLiteConnection("Data Source=" & Server.MapPath("data.db"))

I'm trying to do the following in ASP.NET (with c#):
1. On page Load, download an XML file from a different website to the IIS server, in a subdirectory of the application directory called "downloadedFiles"
I know that WebClient.DownloadFile() can download a file, but this only seems to download the file to the client's machine. I am interested in downloading it to the actual IIS server (so that it can be utilized throughout the lifetime of more than one session). Does anyone know how this could be performed?
Specifically, I'm trying to download an XML file from a website (as an example: [URL]) . How could I download that XML file onto my actual IIS server?
