It seems that you want to view the PDF file in browser using its URL (without downloading). Nowadays most browsers have Acrobat Reader plug-in installed and rendering PDF files is supported. But if you don’t want to rely on Adobe you need to use a library (LEADTOOLS) that can render PDF files in web page. You can check an online demo here: https://demo.leadtools.com/JavaScript/DocumentViewer/index.html

Hi In which point you are having trouble? Binding pdf link from database or opening in new tab? For opening a pdf in new tab just give target=_blank in your anchor tag.

Similest way is by adding Response header of content-disposition and providing the file path and transmitting the file. protected void lnkDownload_Click( object sender EventArgs e) { //path of the pdf file var path = Server.MapPath( Content ) + \MyPDFFile.pdf ; var cd = new System.Net.Mime.ContentDisposition(); cd.FileName = path; cd.Inline = false ; Response.AddHeader( Content-Disposition  cd.ToString()); Response.TransmitFile(path); Response.Flush(); Response.End(); } Hope this helps
