My web application is designed to function in a specific way - the user fills out a form, and then using AJAX, the form data is sent to a PHP file that utilizes xpdf to generate a PDF. The goal is for the generated PDF to be easily downloadable on the HTML page through AJAX.
When I directly open pdf.php in the browser, everything works perfectly. However, I am currently working on establishing a connection between the AJAX call and the PHP file so that the generated PDF can be sent back to AJAX for the user to download by simply clicking a button on the page.
AJAX:
$.ajax({
url: 'pdf.php',
type: 'POST',
data: pdfData
})
.done(function(response){
});
pdf.php:
<?php
include('fpdf.php');
include('fpdi.php');
// initiate FPDI
$pdf =& new FPDI();
// add a page
$pdf->AddPage();
...
$pdf->Output('address.pdf', 'D');
?>
