Open SQL Filestream PDF

[Fabio]

Hi, I would like to know if there is a way to load a PDF stored as VARBINARY(MAX) in a SQL Server Filestream field.

Thank you in advance.

Hi Fabrizio,

The PdfViewer needs to receive a file in order to show it. This can be a static file (like in the demo), or it can be an URL to an action method that will return the PDF. This action, in your case, can access the database and extract the file from it so you can return it to the client and the PdfViewer.

Hi, could You explain how can I pass with razor a pdf using an action method to the pdfviewer? the only examples I've found all use a file and no information are provided in the documentation 

Thanks in advance

Hi Fabrizio,

The following knowledge base article contains some examples - both on changing the URL dynamically, and on using a controller action to return the pdf: https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/knowledge-base/pdfviewer-load-pdf-dynamically-action-database
