Save PDF and avoid the browser open
hello we have a windows server 2008 and we want the users download the PDF files when they click instead of open in the browser with acrobat reader. Is like a force to save and automatic downloading.
If you have examples of code we use ASP, javascript preference. We don't use PHP.
Thank you

Do you already have the pdf files created? Maybe you can post your code that you use to lay your pdf files and I can help you modify it
You have to add some header info. If you saw something in php, this is probably the similar solution in asp. http:Q_21929242.html#a17166603

As a starting point, put the code I posted in its own file (displayPdf.asp) , and on the page that lists out the files, have them link to that page, along with the path listed in the query string so it would look like
Then on line 2, change it to
<a href ="displayPdf. asp? path=/PathToFile/filename.pdf">pdf name display</a>Then on line 2, change it to
FPath = server.mappath(Request. QueryString("path") )
Just saw your post, have a) at mine and see if it works for you. Let me know if you have any additional questions
