Problem with file name when i used to open file D:\Documents\Doc\Trans1\1\Pages from 818 averill avenue 1_001-5.pdf its working fine in all browsers but when i tried to open file D:\Documents\Doc\Trans1\1\Pages from 818 averill avenue #1_001-5.pdf i get error, page not found in IE7 and Firefox and in IE6 its working fine. Only change in that is added # in file name.

A # in a URL denotes a named anchor.

I can't reproduce your error with FF3. Both dragging from Explorer and opening via File|Open manage to display a PDF inside FF when the filename contains a hash

Change your back slashes to forward slashes and add "file:///" to the front. Then URL encode the hash (# is %23).
