Changing the default filename when using mPDF

Question

I'm currently using mPDF to generate a pdf from HTML (which was generated by PHP).

All works as expected but I'd like to be able to change the default filename. Currently, I have:

$payStub=new mPDF();
$payStub->SetTitle('My title');
$payStub->WriteHTML($pcTableRows);
$payStub->Output();

When I save the pdf that opened in my browser it defaults to mpdf.pdf.
Is it possible to change mpdf.pdf to something of my choosing?

I tried

$payStub->Output('myFileName.pdf');

and

$payStub->Output('myFileName.pdf', 'F');

but those want to save it to the server, I'm trying to have it for when the user saves it locally.

Answer 1

Try the I flag in the Output function, which will output the PDF to the browser, and use the filename from the first argument:

$payStub=new mPDF();
$payStub->SetTitle('My title');
$payStub->WriteHTML($pcTableRows);
$payStub->Output('yourFileName.pdf', 'I');

Answer 2

You can try as:

$file_name = 'yourFileName.pdf';
$mpdf->Output($file_name, 'D');

Help:

1. 'D': download the PDF file
2. 'I': serves in-line to the browser
3. 'S': returns the PDF document as a string
4. 'F': save as file $file_out

Answer 3

Modify mdpdf.php

form.setAttribute("action", "'._MPDF_URI.'includes/out.php/'.$name.'");

for downloading with other name
