I want to resolve viewing of PDF issue in asp.net with c#. PDF File is there in the configured path. PDF is unable to view for some PDF Files.
Getting below error
File does not begin with %PDF

What I have tried:

My code is as below:
string path = dict["FileName"].ToString();
                       WebClient client = new WebClient();
                       Byte[] buffer = client.DownloadData(path);

                       if (buffer != null)
                       {
                           Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
                           Response.AddHeader("content-length", buffer.Length.ToString());
                           Response.BinaryWrite(buffer);
                       }

                       Response.End();

Ok, but the PDF standard says that a PDF file begins with %PDF (and then, iirc), a "-x.y" where x.y represent the version of the PDF language the file was built with.

Given that, are you really sure these 'other' files that give you errors ARE PDF's ? .. I'd be adding a check to my code logic to reject non PDF files
