    ############## Create RTF file ##############
$objWriter = \PhpOffice\PhpWord\IOFactory::createWriter($phpWord, 'Word2007');
$objWriter->save(public_path('Report_File/InfoSec_DFAR_Report_' . $time . '.rtf'));
                ############## Create RTF file ##############
    
                ############## Download RTF file ##############
    
                header("Cache-Control: public"); // needed for internet explorer
                header("Content-Type: application/rtf");
                header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: Binary");
                header("Content-Length:".filesize(public_path('Report_File/filename' . $time . '.rtf')));
                header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=InfoSec_DFAR_Report_".$time. '.rtf');
                readfile(public_path('Report_File/filename' . $time . '.rtf'));
                die();
