Sudarvizhi, I can undestand that you want to get the PDF file from C:// directory. Make sure, the following steps are passed from your side. Step 1: Check the directory C:\wamp\www\Images\ Step 2: Here, your PDF filename looks like: lblPermitNumber.Text.Replace(@"/", "-") + ".pdf. Let's say, if your permit number is 10544. The 10544.pdf file should be available in C:\wamp\www\Images\ directory. Hope this helps.
