Open PDF after rendering

[Asawyer13]

I have this code in my index.php

$report->loadFile($t);


$report->render();
$report->exportDocument(StiExportFormat::Pdf);
$report->printHtml();


It export my report to pdf, and the user can click on the upper right of the screen to open it.

Is it possible to create the pdf and then open it without the user having to click to open?

Hello,

You can set the Open After Export option:
$report->exportDocument(StiExportFormat::Pdf, null, true);

Thank you.

Hello Alan,

You are welcome.

When I do this the pdf opens in a tab on the browser, but the index.php tab also stays open. Can that be automatically closed, or have the pdf open in the index.php tab?
Thanks
Alan

Hello Alan,

Unfortunately, it is not possible.

Thank you.
