I borrowed the following code: http://pdfsharp.pastebin.com/f4109e171
to try and create an arbitrary PDF on my site coded in VB but when I run it I see the following: http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n379/cleandenver/PDFSharpError.gif

Any suggestions what I might be missing?

Thanks,
Alex

The server sends PDF - I guess the content type is missing, so the browser shows it as TXT or HTML.

Look here

Line 61:
Response.ContentType = "application/pdf"

Any other suggestions?

You might try this (for a "Save as" prompt):
Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=test.pdf")

Or this (should be the default, but can't harm):
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline; filename=test.pdf")

Are other PDF files showing correct in the Browser?

Already there in line 63

However, I changed:
Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=test.pdf")

to:
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline; filename=test.pdf")

and it started working.
Changed it back and it's still working!

Thanks for the help!
