From an aspx I wish to grab a html-file from the same directory and 
push it to PDF via Response.ContentType = "application/pdf".

Alternatively the html-content can be held in a string variable, which 
can be used instead.

Can someone push me in the right direction as to how?

Regards /Snedker

In order to stream a PDF file, you need to actually have a PDF file to 
stream in the first place - you can't e,g, open an HTML file and just 
"pretend" it's a PDF by changing the MIME type...

There are many utilities which will convert an HTML file to PDF:

using System.IO;

string strFileContents = String.Empty;
using (StreamReader objSR = new StreamReader("TestFile.txt"))
{
    strFileContents = objSR.ReadToEnd();
}

Thanks for your response. I came across http://www.primopdf.com/ which 
will generate the PDF. It's quite free, which is the way I prefer it.  :-)

The desktop version which installs a printer driver and allows PDF 
conversion that way is free - I don't think any of the server-side versions 
are, though...
