i have sent data to actionpdf.php using jQuery. here is my jquery script to send html table to actionpdf.php
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
jQuery('#btnPdf').on('click',function(){
$.post('".plugins_url('',__FILE__)."/html-to-fpdf/actionpdf.php');
});
});
</script>
and here is my action pdf.php-
<?php
require('fpdf.php');
$pdf = new FPDF('P','mm','A4'); //with page settings
$pdf->AddPage();
$pdf->SetFont('Arial','B',16);
$pdf->Cell(40,10,'Hello World!',1);
$pdf->Cell(60,10,'Powered by FPDF.',0,1,'C');
$pdf->Output('sara.pdf', 'D'); //force download file
exit;
?>
what i am doing wrong? i am stuck on that.any helps are welcome.
Probably you have to set the content-type to "application/pdf" to make it working as expected.
Try setting contentType to 'application/pdf' in the ajax call
