While the HttpForbiddenHandler is probably a good choice for the MDB files
(although placing them complete outside your web site folder hierarchy would
be an even better choice), it's not the right choice for files that actually
need to be accessed via your application. For the PDF files, try using
StaticFileHandler instead.

Hi
I am developing a site with ASP.NET which involves displaying PDf ifles
using acrobat activeX control. To avoid a user to directly open a PDF file
using the path of the file I am trying to implement security for the files
using the article "Protecting Files with ASP.NET " posted at
http://aspnet.4guysfromrolla.com/articles/020404-1.aspx

When I do all the settings as discribed in the article the PDF and MDB files
are secured but now the activeX control is no longer able to display the PDF
files even after authentication. I don't know wahts happening please help.

Thanks in advance.
