How do I display an existing PDF File in a Reporting Control?
Can the ReportViewer control in Telerik Reporting simply display or import a PDF file? Or is there a converter or an import method available or in development for this?

We have tried using RadSlidingPane and some other Rad controls. But, the problem is that the PDF file will not drop behind the other RadSlidingPanes properly. We have this in a Web application and want to display the existing PDF files that we have already generated from our database. Currently, the RadSlidingPane gets the HTML from a custom control using HTMLWriter, and writing OBJECT... EMBED... tags onto the pane.

Is there any other way to handle this?

Hi Steve,

The ReportViewer control is used only to show Telerik Reports. It cannot display other data except reports. For more information about it please refer to the following help topic: Embedding the Web Report Viewer on a Web Form.
You can use Acrobat Reader plugin to display the PDF files inside the browser instead.

All the best,
