Here I am using iTextSharp dll for generating PDF file. I want to open PDF file instead of downloading it. So I am using below code which is working fine for me. Now pdf file is opening in browser ,now dowloading

        Document pdfDoc = new Document(PageSize.A4, 25, 10, 25, 10);
        PdfWriter pdfWriter = PdfWriter.GetInstance(pdfDoc, Response.OutputStream);
        pdfDoc.Open();
        Paragraph Text = new Paragraph("Hi , This is Test Content");
        pdfDoc.Add(Text);
        pdfWriter.CloseStream = false;
        pdfDoc.Close();
        Response.Buffer = true;
        Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
        Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache);
        Response.End();

If you want to download file, add below line, after this Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";

Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=Example.pdf");
