Sam Jenifa asked:

Open original thread
Hi,

I did a ajax call using jquery to a handler. In the handler's response I write the context type and save a pdf file. Now in the jquery I have to open the pdf file. I used jquery file download plugin. But it doesn't work for me. Plz help me, to complete this task.

JQuery:

JavaScript
function CallHandler() {
                $.ajax({
            url: "iss_report.ashx",
            contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
            success: OnComplete,
            error: OnFail
        });
        return false;
    }
    function OnComplete(result) {
           $.fileDownload(result);
    }
    function OnFail(result) {
        alert('Request failed');
    }

In handler:
C#
public class iss_report : IHttpHandler {
    public iss_report()
    {
    }

    public void ProcessRequest (HttpContext context) {
  Workbook wb= new Workbook();

        context.Response.SetCookie(new HttpCookie("fileDownload", "true") { Path = "/" });
        context.Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
        invoicebook.Save(context.Response, "mybook.pdf", ContentDisposition.Attachment, new PdfSaveOptions());
    }
 
    public bool IsReusable {
        get {
            return false;
        }
    }

  1. Read the question carefully.
  2. Understand that English isn't everyone's first language so be lenient of bad spelling and grammar.
  3. If a question is poorly phrased then either ask for clarification, ignore it, or edit the question and fix the problem. Insults are not welcome.
  4. Don't tell someone to read the manual. Chances are they have and don't get it. Provide an answer or move on to the next question.
