Html5 Href Download Attribute Not Working With .pdf File

February 26, 2023 Post a Comment

I want a .pdf file to download when the user clicks on an image within a table element. This is what I've got:

Solution 1:

i run your code in chrome & fire-fox and looks like its works perfectly.

Code is:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
  <a href="hello.pdf" download>
    <img src="Cube.png" width="32" height="32" border="0"/>
  </a>
</body>
</html>

Note: The download attribute is not supported in IE, Safari or Opera version 12
(and earlier)

Alright, turns out there was permissions issues, server-side. I contacted my webhost and they fixed it!
