hosting a pdf file

I want my users to be able to click a link on my asp.net page to open a pdf
document. However, I do not want them to be able to enter in a url that
goes directly to the pdf file, thereby bypassing my log on screen. How can
I achieve this? Where must the pdf file be placed, and with what kind of
security settings?

Thanks!

Response.ContentType=3D"application/pdf";
Response.AddHeader( "content-disposition","attachment;
filename=3Dfilename);
FileStream sourceFile =3D new FileStream("C:\\PDFs\\" + filename,
FileMode.Open);

long FileSize;
FileSize =3D sourceFile.Length;
byte[] getContent =3D new byte[(int)FileSize];
sourceFile.Read(getContent, 0, (int)sourceFile.Length);
sourceFile.Close();

Response.BinaryWrite(getContent);

Jesse, use the LinkButton control to create a link, and create an
event handler for the Click event

Text=3D"Download PDF"
OnClick=3D"LinkButton_Click"
runat=3D"server"/>

in the code-behind

void LinkButton_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
...
}
