Hi,

I'm using the object tag to render PDF in HTML, but I'm doing it in MVC like this:

<object data="/JDLCustomer/GetPDFData?projID=<%=ViewData["ProjectID"]%>&folder=<%=ViewData["Folder"] %>"
    type="application/pdf" width="960" height="900">
</object>

and Controller/Action is

    public void GetPDFData(string projID, Project_Thin.Folders folder)
    {
        Highmark.BLL.Models.Project proj = GetProject(projID);
        List<File> ff = proj.GetFiles(folder, false);
        if (ff != null && ff.Count > 0 && ff.Where(p => p.FileExtension == "pdf").Count() > 0)
        {
            ff = ff.Where(p => p.FileExtension == "pdf").ToList();

            Response.ClearHeaders();
            Highmark.BLL.PDF.JDLCustomerPDF pdfObj = new JDLCustomerPDF(ff, proj.SimpleDbID);
            byte[] bArr = pdfObj.GetPDF(Response.OutputStream);
            pdfObj = null;

            Response.ContentType = "application/" + System.IO.Path.GetExtension("TakeOffPlans").Replace(".", "");
            Response.AddHeader("Content-disposition", "attachment; filename=\"TakeOffPlans\"");
            Response.BinaryWrite(bArr);
            Response.Flush();
        }
    }

The problem is, as I'm downloading data first from server and then return the byte data, it is taking some time in downloading, so I want to show some kind of progress to show processing.

Please help me on this.
