I have a Binary Store in a SQL Server Table, In there I have PDF Files (in binary), what I want to do is display the PDF on a webpage in a "DIV". I don't want the user to have to press open so it opens in acrobat reader. I want a small thumbnail which they click and a model window opens with the PDF document displayed as a picture. Does anyone know how to achieve this or if there are any components available to do this?

To display a PDF within the browser you will need to use the <object> or <embed> html tags.

You can use this to point to a PDF file URL to display.

If you PDF is located in a Binary Store somewhere and not linkable from a browser, you will need to build a page (or HttpHandler) to get the binary data and output the file contents so it can be linked via a URL. Have a look at serving files using "Response.Binarywrite".

You're looking for rasterization. I've used DynamicPDF's rasterizer with good success, but it's not cheap.

It looks like PDF.js might be of use to you, a JavaScript library that renders the PDF to a HTML5 canvas.

We found TallComponents PDF Rasterizer very useful.
