download: 'open' property for export pdf is not supported in IE/edge

Wamakshi

Hi
I have used the below property download: 'open' in export pdf -
The code -

 {
                         extend: "pdfHtml5",
                         exportOptions: { orthogonal: "customPdf" },
                         download: 'open',
//among other properties
}

However, it is throwing the permission error - in IE
Message: Error: Permission denied in pdfmake.min.js

Here's the known issue listed
https://github.com/bpampuch/pdfmake/issues/827

Is there any solution available for this yet?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Wamakshi ,

That's not a known problem. I just tried this page in IE11, and the PDF generation worked as expected, so this is going to be something with your implementation.

We're happy to take a look, but as per the forum rules, please link to a test case - a test case that replicates the issue will ensure you'll get a quick and accurate response. Information on how to create a test case (if you aren't able to link to the page you are working on) is available here.

Cheers,

It won't work in older versions of IE. That's expected and noted in the pdfHtml5 documentation - IE10+ only.

Hi @colin and @allan

PDF export works perfectly in IE11/Edge. But as soon as I add this property:

download: 'open'

That throws an error in both IE11/Edge.

Here's the example I tried: https://jsbin.com/vohosoj/edit?html,js,console,output
And, here's the screenshot of what I see in IE11.

Thanks!

Hi @Wamakshi ,

Ah yep, I see that. I've raised it internally (DD-1200 for my reference) and we'll report back here when there's an update.

Cheers,

Looks like its a known issue in pdfmake.
