I pdf export use in datatable then pdf download in download folder but i want to download pdf in specific folder like /pdf/

colin

Hi @atulgoyalit ,

That's down to your browser, the website has no control over that. The app can only modify the name of the file itself.

Cheers,

oTable = $('#jsontable1').dataTable({

                                            dom: 'Bfrtip',                                                
                                            pageLength: 100000,                                                
                                            buttons: [
                                                       'pdf',
                                                    ]                                                                                                             
                                                });

Like Colin said that is a browser setting. Depending on your browser you would enable it to ask where to save each file for downloading.

Yep, see what I said before! Here's how you change the filename, as I said, the folder is down to the browser.

Yes i check @colin and @kthorngren When Pdf report download automatically without click then i want to save through coding save in specific folder in specific path not browser setting

$(document).ready(function()
{
$("#jsontable1").dataTable().fnDestroy();

                                            oTable = $('#jsontable1').dataTable({

                                            dom: 'Bfrtip',                                                
                                            pageLength: 100000,                                                
                                            buttons: [

No @colin Its serious situation discussion.

@atulgoyalit Please learn how a website works: You cannot set a specific download directory for your users, because the browser doesn't allow it (for obvious security reasons). Your user has to specify which download directory should be used. This is something you are not allowed and cannot set for any user.

Yes - this has now been answered multiple times and as the others have said you cannot do this.

Closing this thread as asking the same question again will not change the answer.
