I'm using iTextSharp for generating a pdf. I can save the PDF file from the PDF byte[]. 

byte[] outputPDF = cnt.CreateBreakPDF();
File.WriteAllBytes(pdfOutPutPath, outputPDF);

What is the best way to display the output byte[] to a web page?

I've seen answers for MVC, but I'm using ASP.NET Web Application.

Is there a better way than using HTTP handlers to do so? I don't want to send all the details for creating PDF as query string.

You can try the following code. It does require a file instance - just a byte array representing your pdf:

byte[] outputPDF = cnt.CreateBreakPDF();

Response.Clear();
Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
Response.BinaryWrite(outputPDF);
Response.Flush();
Response.End();

Try this

Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
Response.AddHeader("content-length", outputPDF.Length.ToString());
Response.BinaryWrite(outputPDF);

I want to show the PDF inside a div in my page. Not the PDF as response.. – Sen Jacob 4 hours ago
