Solution 1

You want to write a HTTP Handler that handles requests that contain the DB id of the object, and returns the bytes of the object, with the right header. This has been covered ad nauseum all over the web, I am certain this site will have articles on it. Did you look ?

Your can convert pdf file in to byte array By following code

C#

byte[] array = new byte[file.ContentLength];
file.InputStream.Read(array, 0, array.Length);

By following code you can recheck the file

C#

System.IO.File.WriteAllBytes(@"c:\test.pdf", array);

store the byte array to database easily.
and also read the byte array and export as follows ...

C#

Response.Clear(); 
MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(pdfBytearray); 
Response.ContentType = "application/pdf"; 
Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=labtest.pdf"); 
Response.Buffer = true; 
ms.WriteTo(Response.OutputStream); 
Response.End();
