How to create PDF ajax view call?

Hello Rubyjmorales,

The task you want to accomplish can be done in two ways.

1.   The PDF can be opened in a new pop-up window.

2.   The PDF file can be fetched and viewed on the same web page as if it is a part of the page.

In the attached notepad file you will find two code snippets, the first one will fetch and open the PDF file separately in a pop-up window while the second one will fetch the PDF from url and display it on the current web page.

How to create PDF ajax view call?

HELLO,

To load a PDF using Ajax do the following

• Use your  PDF JavaScript libraries to render PDF directly from JavaScript without plugins.Then  try to see if those libraries let you set the PDF directly from binary data.

• You can also try the option of  receive the PDF data as base64 encoded and use a Data URI to set window.location.href to that data URI, although in that case it's possible the PDF is offered as a download dialog instead of loading directly in the page, then test that.   window.location.href or <iframe> or window.open )
