Is there a way to just open a PDF instead download?

Mr_LinDowsMac

I would like to know if there is a way to override the default behavior of a PDF button (from the extension Buttons) which opens a dialog to download the file, to just open it in a new window. According to pdfmake docs:

// open the PDF in a new window pdfMake.createPdf(docDefinition).open();

I don't know if there is way to that from datatables.

Not in 1.0.0, but I've just committed a feature for this which will be in 1.0.1 which I plan to release tomorrow. Thanks for the suggestion!

Thanks for the feedback!

I already downloaded in my project the update of Buttons, however didn't work.
I figure out that I'm using the download generator consolidated in a single file and the link to the 1.0.1 is not there yet :/

That's because I haven't released 1.0.1 yet. I will be doing so later today.

Try this another, I don't have a real hosting because my site is not published yet and it is currently a development:
