PDF View/ Download

[arvind]

Hi All,

AEM Version: 6.5.12

Problem: In a component, we need to add 2 buttons "view" and "download" and upon clicking, It either opens DAM pdf in a new TAB or download.

I am aware of Content disposition filter issue which is implemented for security issue from AEM 6.2.

Question: Is there any  way to achieve both either using some JS library or any sort of Servlets?

NOTE: We are not looking out to make any change at Dispatcher level for this solution.

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

This can be done using servlet,

you need to serve the PDF response over servlet and add headers

Use selector e.g. pdfname.view.pdf or pdfname.download.pdf
