                    Response.Filter = New System.IO.Compression.DeflateStream(Response.Filter, CompressionMode.Compress)
                    Response.AppendHeader("Content-Encoding", "deflate")
                    Response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline; filename='" + caseno + "'.pdf")

Replace

Response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline; filename='" + caseno + "'.pdf")

With

Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename='" + caseno + "'.pdf")

Let's clarify the difference between inline and attachment

if inline browser will first try to open the file for ex. if browser have pdf reader it will open by reader else it will open file save dialogue

if attachment browser will be forced to open file save dialogue

Hi,

I’m glad to you post the issue to asp.net forum.

What I understand from your description is that you want to show the pdf inline in IE. And save it as the user want to.

For this issue, we need to set the content-disposition and content-type headers of response.

Others have provided some practicable solutions in below link.
