Download And Open Pdf File Using Ajax

When it comes to handling PDF files on the web, using Ajax can be a convenient method to download and open them seamlessly. In this guide, we'll walk you through the steps to download and open a PDF file using Ajax in your web application.

First things first, you will need a basic understanding of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Ajax. If you're new to Ajax, don't worry, we'll break down the process into easy-to-follow steps.

### Step 1: Setting Up Your HTML
Start by creating a simple HTML structure for your web page. You can include a button that will trigger the PDF file download using Ajax.

<title>Download and Open PDF Using Ajax</title>


    <button id="downloadBtn">Download PDF</button>
    <div id="pdfContainer"></div>

### Step 2: Writing the JavaScript Code
Next, create a JavaScript file (e.g., `script.js`) where you will write the code to handle the Ajax request for downloading and displaying the PDF file.

document.getElementById('downloadBtn').addEventListener('click', function() {
    var req = new XMLHttpRequest();
    req.open('GET', 'path/to/your/pdf/file.pdf', true);
    req.responseType = 'arraybuffer';

    req.onload = function() {
        if (req.status === 200) {
            var blob = new Blob([req.response], { type: 'application/pdf' });
            var url = URL.createObjectURL(blob);
            var pdfContainer = document.getElementById('pdfContainer');
            var pdfEmbed = document.createElement('embed');

            pdfEmbed.setAttribute('src', url);
            pdfEmbed.setAttribute('type', 'application/pdf');
            pdfContainer.appendChild(pdfEmbed);
        }
    };

    req.send();
});

### Step 3: Testing Your Code
Now it's time to test your setup. Open your HTML file in a browser and click the "Download PDF" button. Your script should download the PDF file using Ajax and display it on the page.

Congratulations! You've successfully implemented a feature to download and open a PDF file using Ajax in your web application.

Feel free to customize this code to suit your specific requirements or integrate it into a larger project. Happy coding!
