C# MVC: Chrome using the action name to set inline PDF title

Question

I have an action who displays a PDF in a new browser tab.

    public ActionResult Print()
    {
        var cd = new ContentDisposition
        {
                    


        

Answer 1

I solved this problem by using a iframe.

Create an action which fills the title and pdf url.

        public ActionResult ArticleSpecification(int ArticleID)
        {
            using (var context = new myEntities())
            {
                Article article = context.Article.FirstOrDefault(a => a.ArticleID == ArticleID);
                ViewData["Title"] = article.Code + " - " + article.Description;
                ViewData["PdfSource"] = "ArticleSpecificationPdf?ArticleID=" + article.ArticleID;
                return View("~/Views/Specification/pdfview.cshtml");
            }
        }

pdfview.cshtml: with a iframe to view the pdf and title.

@{
    Layout = "";
}


    
        
        
    
    
        
    

The action to return the pdf content.

        public FileResult ArticleSpecificationPdf(int ArticleID)
        {
            using (var context = new myEntities())
            {
                PdfFile file = null;
                Article article = context.Article.FirstOrDefault(a => a.ArticleID == ArticleID);
                if (article != null && article.SpecificationPdfID != null)
                    file = context.PdfFile.FirstOrDefault(a => a.PdfFileID == article.SpecificationPdfID);
                return new FilePathResult(file.path, "application/pdf");
            }
        }
