I have this url that I'm connecting to using a WebRequest. For some reason I can't seem to figure out how to download the resulting PDF. It works fine in a browser. I put a webbrowser control on a form and it works too. (I can't have the pdf save automatically with a webbrowser control so that seems to be out of the question.).

When I put the url into my web browser and then look at the source the following HTML file is sent back. The thing I find bizzare is the src in the embed tag is the exact url I was using to get the PDF in the first place.

Can anyone help me out? I'm just looking to download the file automatically.

Thanks in advance,

M
