    <p>I need to open docx that's stored in sharepoint then convert it to pdf in memory and then write to http response so pdf would be downloaded at client machine.</p> <p>The issue is I don't know how to convert pdf to byte array in memory. There is a condition: I can use only free libs and third-side API. Microsoft.Interop offers to save docx as pdf to disk, for example:</p> <pre><code>Document doc = word.Documents.Open(ref filename, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing); doc.Activate(); object outputFileName = wordFile.FullName.Replace(".doc", ".pdf"); object fileFormat = WdSaveFormat.wdFormatPDF; // Save document into PDF Format doc.SaveAs(ref outputFileName, ref fileFormat, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing); </code></pre> <p>but I need to get bytes and write them to response directly without saving data on disk.</p> <p><strong>EDIT:</strong> I'd like to apply more comprehensive one-stop solution without reference to SharePoint. Let's say in some ASP.NET site.</p>

    1. CONot viable to write the PDF to a temp file, read the bytes, then delete the file? EDIT: Also, the `wordFile.FullName.Replace(".doc", ".pdf")` scares me. Consider the file name "chris.doctornotes.doc" or "josh.dockery.resume.doc"

    2. COThanks for response. No, using a temp file isn't acceptable. EDIT: Yeah, that code needs to be modified.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
