How to keep filename when download: open enabled

nasimul007

I added my code snippet here. when "download: 'open'" is enabled and i try to download the pdf, browser auto generates the filename, but i want to keep my custom filename. If "download: 'open'" is disabled "filename" works perfectly.

Thank you

{
       extend: 'pdf',
       download: 'open',
       filename: 'custom filename'
}

Try using title, as in this example - that should do the trick,

title doesn't work when download: 'open' is enabled. Browser provides automated filename.

Try filename - this example here is keeping the name in that dialogue (see Excel - it's putting a time stamp on the file),

perfectly works for excel and csv but not for pdf. here, i attached the code used for pdf
