Request Headers updating but no pdf about dynamicpdf-plugin HOT 5 CLOSED

OctoberCMS ajax framework cannot handle this type of response.

Read this: octobercms/october#2182

Recommended approach is to save PDF file locally and return redirect to PDF file.

Hi that is the way I decided to go after testing a few other things out.

Hi, does anyone have a code example?

I'm trying to generate a PDF via a button in the backend of the update page of a model. The button uses the October CMS AJAX framework and calls a function onGeneratePDF in the controller file.

I tried:

        $path = 'storage/app/media/'.$file.'.pdf';
        $saved = PDF::loadTemplate($templateCode, $data)->save($path);
        $headers = [
            'HTTP/1.1 200 OK',
            'Pragma: public',
            'Content-Type: application/pdf'
        ];
        return Response::download(base_path($path), $file.'.pdf', $headers)->deleteFileAfterSend(true);

This does generate the file (and clears it), but it does not show it to the browser.

The following

return Redirect::to('storage/app/media/'.$file.'.pdf');

... does work, but it has the disadvantage that the file stays on the server and this is not intended. The PDF contains private information and should not be available via a URL.

What is the right way to tackle this?

Read documentation:

If you just want to stream PDF, than just create normal method in controller:

I wouldn't ask a question without reading the docs... I solved it in a different way, via an attachOne relation to my model and redirecting to that.
