链接以打开保存在文件夹中的PDF文件？

Question

Hi there. I think this one is a tough one, but I hope someone can help.

I have a folder which is downloaded from my website. The folder contains a Main PDF report on a housing property, and another folder containing pictures and more PDF reports on similar houses in the area.

On my main PDF report I would like to have a link to open the other PDF folders.

How would I go about creating a link to open a PDF report saved in a file?

Looking at the picture below, where it says CS1.pdf, that is the name of the PDF and where the link will be. This is a screen shot of a portion of my main PDF.

I don't mind if the PDF reports are opened in a webpage, in fact I would prefer it. But, at the moment, I just need a simple link created that will open a PDF located in a folder.

An explanation of the app flow:

Here below I save the PDF that I want to link to later. It's saved to a temp location; the exact location is not important as it will be deleted after the file uploads.

The file I upload contains a few pictures, some PDFs and a data.XML file. When a person downloads the file, the data.XML file is used to create my main PDF, or report, in any format. I need to send a link through the XML file that will appear on the report making it able to link to the other PDF files that were uploaded with the data.xml file.

CS1[12].TagValue = ReportDS.Tables[9].Rows[0].ItemArray[0].ToString();

//Save PDF
//PDFName = System.Guid.NewGuid().ToString() + ".pdf";
string PDFName = "CS1" + ".pdf";
WebClient webClient = new WebClient();
webClient.DownloadFile(CS1[12].TagValue, "C://Users//Shaun//Documents//FormValue//" + PDFName);
CS1[12].TagValue = PDFName; //This is the value passed to the main PDF so this is where i should pass the link through.

The line CS1[12].TagValue = PDFName; is where I set the value to send though to the main PDF, and this is where my link should be sent through.

I need something like CS1[12].TagValue = "http://C://Users//Shaun//Downloads//CS1.pdf"; but with the file path of the downloaded location.

you are on a right way but you have some mistake like, when you giving location of pdf file from downloaded location, that must be a file type, its not from a server...

CS1[12].TagValue = "http://C://Users//Shaun//Downloads//CS1.pdf";

but it must like this

CS1[12].TagValue = "file://C://Users//Shaun//Downloads//CS1.pdf";

so that you have change one line in your code...

webClient.DownloadFile(CS1[12].TagValue, "file://C:/Users//Shaun//Documents//FormValue//" + PDFName);
