I think better way is to use C1PDF control for the purpose.
Also the code should not work as it will give object reference error.

Hi Herve

This can't work because the ShowPDF method writes the pdf stream right into
the page (no temp files). But the control you created is not on the page…

The easiest way to do this would be to create the control at design time and
put it on the page as usual, then make it invisible.
