Hi..

I have created a ASP.NET site that at the end generates the PDF forms and displays it to the user.
this is working fine in IE8 version but its not working in IE10 gives error .PDF couldnt be downloaded, gives same error even though I change browser mode to IE8 using f12.

I am using following snippet to display PDF and the PDf is created using itextsharp:

C#

Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
Response.Charset = null;
Response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; Filename= " + FileName);
Response.TransmitFile(FilePath);
Response.Flush();
Response.Close();

Filepath is the path of the PDF file.

Hope someone will give correct resolution for the problem.

Thanks,
Janie

As you said it worked in IE8, it seems issue related with setting.
Check this might help...
