I have been trying this piece of code to display the PDF file into my webform. I just want to display it, not download it.:

XML

<iframe src="<a href="../DownloadForm/Form1.pdf</a>" style="z-index: 100; left: 27px; width: 671px; position: absolute; top: 130px; height: 502px"></iframe>

Error of 'Bad request' occured. What does it mean? Where should I edit the code? Please guide me..

This HTML code is not well-formed, don't you see it?

Probably you mean

XML

<iframe src="../DownloadForm/Form1.pdf"
style="z-index: 100; left: 27px; width: 671px; position: absolute; top: 130px; height: 502px" />

There is no such thing as HTML inside attribute value.

Let me tell you that your iframe with absolute positioning looks ugly. I hope you use inline style only for the code sample — it should be in separate style sheet, separate set of files or at least in the <head> tag.

ok, i have changed it. Thank you a lot!
After trying this code, this is for download. But how can I edit the code if i want to just viewing it in the webform?
after make some searching, I found that I can solve this problem by selecting Adobe Reader in COM component. But no Abode Reader appear in my toolbox.

No, it would be for download if you used it in anchor <a href="myfile.pdf">PDF</a>. With iframe, I just tested it with Mozilla Seamonkey and IE 8 -- they both just show PDF with Acrobat reader.
