That is because the system the browser is running on (do NOT test this
just on your development machine!) does not have a C:\web-doc. This
href point to a local drive, NOT the C: drive of the webserver.

You need something like <a href="servepdf.aspx?file=abc.pdf">...
where serverpdf.aspx accesses that directory outside of the webserver.
It can use Response.WriteFile to send the file to the browser.
