hi,

i've a requirement to make few documents available to view/download on website.

there is a web service available which returns document from document repository in form of stream.

i am confused how to make this stream available to client in form of pdf?

any suggestion?

even if i use some api to create pdf from stream, where will i keep it on sever so user can access it?

thanks in advance.

Why would you want to keep it on the server? Whenever the user wants to download a document, get the raw bytes from the repo, and stream them to the browser. No need to store them in between.
