Thanks,
But let me tell you that,i don't want to view the pdf in browser. I want the contents of the pdf and want to use in my aspx page.
Now, the question is that is this possible to get contents of pdf with all formatting and can be used on aspx page.
I am using online text editor to format, this solves the formatting of the text to be displayed on the page. But if admin wants to upload formatted pdf and want those contents to be visible on aspx page, then what????.
Thanks
