Working with PDF

I have a project where the user wants to view a PDF, make annotations and comments in the PDF doc and save it back on the server. The problem is that he doesn't want to use the upload function. He wants to be able to just save the file just like it's on a local machine. The setup will be done on an intranet. Is it possible to implement such feature with ASP.NET?

Thanks

i dont think you will be able to do this with a standard asp.net site. you will need to have them download the pdf, save it locally and re-upload it to the server.

You can try directly opening things from a UNC Share but you will probably need to implement impersonation and ensure that the users log in with sufficient permissions to re-write to a unc share.

hth,

This is probably something that you need Sharepoint for. WSS (Windows sharepoint services 3.0) is a free download for Windows Server 2003 but it may not include all the functionality you are looking for. If not you would have to buy Microsoft Office Sharepoint Services on top of that. Not sure if this helps but sharepoint does allow document check-in and check-out as well as versioning and many other rich features.

That's a great idea. I tried from a web page and it works. Thanks.
