Opening a PDF file in the browser

Opening a PDF file in the browser

I think this question has been raised/answered before - but for the life of me I can't find it in the forum. I would like TableTools to open the exported PDF immediately in the browser, rather than opening the Save As box. Is this possible?

    Neither found it in the forum.

    As far as I am aware, this is not currently possible with Flash (actually it possibly is with the data:// protocol, but that doesn't enjoy support in older IE). The only way, off the top of my head, to do this would be to send an Ajax request to the server to get the server to generate the PDF and then redirect the browser to the generated PDF.
