You shouldn't do this in your ASP.NET code, because that runs on the server. This case is better handled client-side, using JavaScript. JavaScript has a setTimeout function[^] which you can use to run a function after a certain amount of time. In this function, you can redirect the user to a PDF file.

JavaScript

setTimeout(function() {
    window.location = "/path/to/your/file.pdf";
}, 5000); // 5000 milliseconds = 5 seconds. Adjust if necessary.
