How to download PDF automatically using js?

Question

My scenario is that PDF file download automatically, then user fills it and when click on submit button in PDF it connect to java servlet and save it in DB.

Answer 1

1. for second point, get a full path to pdf file into some java variable. e.g. http://www.domain.com/files/filename.pdf

e.g. you're using php and $filepath contains pdf file path.

so you can write javascript like to to emulate download dialog box.

Above code sends browser to pdf file by its url "http://www.domain.com/files/filename.pdf". So at last, browser will show download dialog box to where to save this file on your machine.
