Download pdf file using jquery ajax

0 votes

I want to download a pdf file for jquery ajax response. Ajax response contains pdf file data. I tried this solution. My code is given below but I always get a blank pdf.

$(document).on('click', '.download-ss-btn', function () {

    $.ajax({
        type: "POST",
        url: 'http://127.0.0.1:8080/utils/json/pdfGen',
        data: {
            data: JSON.stringify(jsonData)
        }

    }).done(function (data) {
        var blob = new Blob([data]);
        var link = document.createElement('a');
        link.href = window.URL.createObjectURL(blob);
        link.download = "Sample.pdf";
        link.click();
    });


});

Download PDF file with button click using jQuery 
 Clicking the download button will call the DownloadFileJavaScript function. 
 Within the DownloadFile JavaScript function, the URL of the file is passed as a parameter to the jQuery AJAX function.

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<head>

    <title></title>

</head>

<body>

    <input type="button" value="Download PDF File" onclick="DownloadFile('Sample.pdf')" />

    <script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.0.0/jquery.min.js"></script>

    <script type="text/javascript">

        function DownloadFile(fileName) {

            //Set the File URL.

            var url = "Files/" + fileName;


            $.ajax({

                url: url,

                cache: false,

                xhr: function () {

                    var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();

                    xhr.onreadystatechange = function () {

                        if (xhr.readyState == 2) {

                            if (xhr.status == 200) {

                                xhr.responseType = "blob";

                            } else {

                                xhr.responseType = "text";

                            }

                        }

                    };

                    return xhr;

                },

                success: function (data) {

                    //Convert the Byte Data to BLOB object.

                    var blob = new Blob([data], { type: "application/octetstream" });


                    //Check the Browser type and download the File.

                    var isIE = false || !!document.documentMode;

                    if (isIE) {

                        window.navigator.msSaveBlob(blob, fileName);

                    } else {

                        var url = window.URL || window.webkitURL;

                        link = url.createObjectURL(blob);

                        var a = $("<a />");

                        a.attr("download", fileName);

                        a.attr("href", link);

                        $("body").append(a);

                        a[0].click();

                        $("body").remove(a);

                    }

                }

            });

        };

    </script>

</body>

</html>
