| You can't normally open .PDF documents in SQL Server because it's not a data type that SQL Server natively understands (Adobe owns it). However, there are PDF converter utilities on the market that would allow you to covert a .PDF to an image format. Many document management applications store .PDF's (or converted .TIFF's) on a hard drive somewhere and then create a link in a SQL Server database to the storage location. |
