Hi Sonal To open a pdf document you can use the following code. if (File.Exists(proposalPath.Replace(pdf txt))) { FileStream fs = null; try { fs = File.Open(proposalPath FileMode.Open FileAccess.ReadWrite FileShare.None); } catch (IOException) { } bool canRead = fs.CanRead; if (canRead) { fs.Close(); Response.Write( window.open('file: + proposalPath.Replace(\ /) + ')); break; } fs.Close(); } As you have mentioned the hyperlink field use the Target =_blank with the hyperlink field.I think you will be able to view the pdf document.
