Question

How to download a PDF file using file URL. I am tried many eg, but no luck. All are opening the file in the new tab. anyone have any idea about this.

Eg code

var link = document.createElement('a');
link.href = file_path;
link.download = file_path.substr(file_path.lastIndexOf('/') + 1);
link.click();

You can make use of the download attribute like so:

<a href="file link" download target="_blank">Click here to download</a>
