PDF viewer for ASP.NET
Telerik already provide PDF Viewer for Silverlight, this control is very common used and safe our time to display PDF without using client's browser plugin. 

It will be great this control to be available in ASP.NET, we will not spending IT budget for another controls.

Telerik we know you can do it, this will make you more competitive.

Hi All,

I have good news that we just released the long-anticipated PdfViewer component as part of the Telerik UI for ASP.NET AJAX suite!

You can give it a spin at the live demos https://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/pdfviewer/overview/defaultcs.aspx and download it from your Telerik account at https://www.telerik.com/account/product-download?product=RCAJAX.

Any feedback is most welcome.

Enjoy!

Regards,
Rumen

Oooh it would be so nice, if we can have a PDF viewer that can load PDF that was dynamically generated in  Stream response header.

This is still a very much needed Control.
The PDF.js solution is really not a solution since there are to many browser issues.
Browser plugins are a hassle since many users have no control over their environment and different readers behave differently.

Thanks Rumen;

Your suggestion is well received and I think your proposal is a good one for the time being until the Telerik version comes out.

Thank you for being so attentive to developers!

Hi guys,

Thank you for your kind requests for a PDF viewer control.

Our to-do list for this year is pretty full and since this is a very complex task that will require a lot of time for research & development, we will try to provide an integration example with the open source framework PDF.js.

Best regards,
Rumen

This is a very needed control especially in two cases:
a) If the PDF is stored in DB as BLOB that viewer needs to display
b) The URL is stored in DB that viewer needs to use to get to PDF.

In either event, the control needs to have databinding, and model binding like other data controls.

Thanks!
..Ben

I believe this is one of the controls that can bring a lot of revenue for Telerik since this kind of control is only reserved for a few with some budget to spend. Please take some time to check out this control at http://www.tallcomponents.com/pdfthumbnail.aspx that allows to show pdf pages as images. This is very good for previewing a pdf. They also have a full component that allows you to show and work with pdf files and is one of the best out there.

Cross-browser is possible with javascript today. See for example the pdf.js library for html5.

Cross-browser and cross-platform support is important to keep across the Telerik ecosystem. I don't know how you think they'll be able to do this "without using client's browser plugin", since they'll need to have a PDF viewer plugin or Silverlight, creating another dependency on the client side.

We have requested an ASP.NET PDF viewer as well. We need to control access to files on a secure site. Some users would be view only while others could download. Thanks!!!

I think there are more important features for existing controls that should be implemented first.

Teleriks tends to do things by halves (e.g. design time support for RadGrid, RibbonBar, TreeView editing support, ...)
