How to specify the filename of the downloaded PDF programatically

[Szöke Istvan]

Hello Syncfusion Team,

I am using your PDF Viewer component to show PDFs. When I click on the download button I would like to see the download file name that I set programatically. For example if I download a pdf in from PDF Viewer, I would like to download it as "SummaryDocument.pdf".

Is there any way to specify the download file name programatically for download actions?

Thanks in advance!

Regards,

Istvan

Hi Szöke,  

   

Thanks for using Syncfusion products.  

   

We can specify the filename by using DownloadFileName property during the control initialization. Kindly refer to the code snippet below.  

   

<SfPdfViewerServer @ref="@Viewer" DocumentPath="@documentPath" Width="900px" Height="500px" DownloadFileName="SummaryDocument.pdf">
</SfPdfViewerServer>  

   

   

However, we are currently facing the issue of changing the filename dynamically, so we will update the further details on November 26^th, 2020.
