How to download PDF?

Hi! Which browser do you use? This may be a browser setting, to always open known filetypes instead of downloading. I specifically set the headers to download for the ‘Download’ option, from there on it’s up to the browser to decide what to do with that.

header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.$filename.'"');

Both Firefox and Chrome works as I described. Can I somehow forcibly make Download button always download invoice (and never view in browser)? I’ve used such plugin by YITH and its download buttons worked as I’ve described.

Ah yes – confirmed.
I have fixed this for the next update (probably released later today)

Apologies for the inconvenience!

Hi,

I think I have the same issue.
Firefox Mac OS and Safar Mac OS runs fine but Chrome Mac OS fails.

Resource interpreted as Document but transferred with MIME type application/pdf: "https://www.my-site.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=generate_wpo_wcpdf&document_type=invoice&order_ids=2413&_wpnonce=3e5f352e4d".

Fails both options, Download or Open in browser.
Only works if the output is HTML
Thanks

That’s odd – are you using the latest (2.0.1 or 2.0.2?)
I use Chrome on Mac OS primarily and have not seen this error before.

The download option should work now in 2.0.2, although I have not changed anything in the MIME type, so you may still be getting this error. application/pdf is the correct “Content-Type” afaik… If not, please enlighten me, I’d gladly fix this!

Hi,

The site was running WooCommerce PDF Invoices & Packing Slips 2.0.1
Since updated to 2.0.2 it works fine again.

Thanks

Hello Jairo,
Thanks for the feedback! Just to confirm – do both options (download and inline) work in 2.0.2?

Hi Ewout,

I’m afraid only works Download.
But if I choose Inline it fails.
