To load a PDF via ajax you could try:. Use some of the PDF javascript libraries to render PDF directly from javascript without plugins, like. And try to see if those libraries let you set the pdf directly from binary data (what you receive in ajax). Another option is receive the pdf data as base64 encoded and the use a to set window.location.href to that data uri, although in that case it's possible the PDF is offered as a dowload dialog instead of loading directly in the page, you have to test that. Also data uri support is very limited for pdf in IE 8 and older, see the wikipedia for more details. Also see about how it's not possible to load pdf directly from ajax and what other options you have to try to do what you want (mainly saving pdf as temporary file on server and use it with window.location.href or or window.open ). You should open a new page using tag with your PHP page print.php with your variables.

Ajax Tutorial for Beginners: Part 1. Hello everyone. This is my first article on The Code Project. I hope you will get some benefit from it. Language Syntax •Whitespace does not matter - spaces and new lines •Begin and end of blocks are curly braces •Statements must end in semicolons.

Click me to download the file In the PHP page, add headers // Send Headers header('Content-type: application/pdf'); header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='myPDF.pdf'); // Send Headers: Prevent Caching of File header('Cache-Control: private'); header('Pragma: private'); header('Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT'); Try to play with header header('Content-type: application/force-download'); to download automatically your file. You could also display your PDF data like if the file has been saved readfile('original.pdf').

You don't necessarily need Ajax for this. Just an link is enough if you set the content-disposition to attachment in the server side code. This way the parent page will just stay open, if that was your major concern (why would you unnecessarily have chosen Ajax for this otherwise?). Besides, there is no way to handle this nicely acynchronously. PDF is not character data. It's binary data. You can't do stuff like $(element).load.

You want to use completely new request for this. For that pdf is perfectly suitable. To assist you more with the server side code, you'll need to tell more about the language used and post an excerpt of the code attempts. I don't really think that any of the past answers spotted out the problem of the original poster. They all presume a GET request while the poster was trying to POST data and get a download in response.
