I am doing a c sharp MVC project and rendering one of the HTML pages to a PDF. When I call it from the desktop version the PDF downloads automatically without redirecting me. But when I am on my page.mobile.cshtml and press the download pdf button it redirects me to the url for the GetPDF method. If I then refresh that site it downloads the pdf.
What am i doing wrong here, is it some routing settings for the mobile view thats wrong?
This is my getPdf method:
public void getPdf(string snr, string bnr, int bgn)
{
Doc theDoc = new Doc();
theDoc.Clear();
theDoc.FontSize = 16;
theDoc.Page = theDoc.AddPage();
int theID;
string url = this.Url.Action("TicketPdf", "Home", new { supplierCode = snr, bookingNr = bnr, bgn = bgn }, this.Request.Url.Scheme);
theID = theDoc.AddImageUrl(url);
while (true)
{
theDoc.FrameRect();
if (!theDoc.Chainable(theID))
break;
theDoc.Page = theDoc.AddPage();
theID = theDoc.AddImageToChain(theID);
}
for (int i = 1; i <= theDoc.PageCount; i++)
{
theDoc.PageNumber = i;
theDoc.Flatten();
}
byte[] theData = theDoc.GetData();
Response.Clear();
Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
//Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "inline; filename=ticket.PDF");
Response.AddHeader("content-length", theData.Length.ToString());
Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=Ticket.pdf");
Response.BinaryWrite(theData);
Response.End();
}
On both views (Desktop and mobile) i call the it like this:
@Html.ActionLink("Download pdf", "getPDF", new { snr = @bok.CBSupplierId, bnr = @bok.CBBookingCode, bgn = (int)bok.Id })
So when i press the link in desktop view it downloads the PDF without redirecting me. But when i press it in the mobile view that is build with jquery mobile it redirects me to: /Home/getPDF?snr=22558&bnr=IWVY99&bgn=4391
Managed to solve it by adding rel = "external" to the link from the mobile view.
