JQuery Ajax调用PDF文件下载

HTML
    <a href="www.example.com/download_file.php?file_source=example.pdf">Download pdf here</a>

PHP
<?php
$fullPath = $_GET['fileSource'];
if($fullPath) {
    $fsize = filesize($fullPath);
    $path_parts = pathinfo($fullPath);
    $ext = strtolower($path_parts["extension"]);
    switch ($ext) {
        case "pdf":
        header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"".$path_parts["basename"]."\""); // use 'attachment' to force a download
        header("Content-type: application/pdf"); // add here more headers for diff. extensions
        break;
        default;
        header("Content-type: application/octet-stream");
        header("Content-Disposition: filename=\"".$path_parts["basename"]."\"");
    }
    if($fsize) {//checking if file size exist
      header("Content-length: $fsize");
    }
    readfile($fullPath);
    exit;
}
?>

我正在检查文件大小，因为如果你从CDN cloudfront加载pdf，你不会得到文档的大小，这迫使文档下载为0kb，为了避免这种情况，我正在检查这种情况

 if($fsize) {//checking if file size exist
      header("Content-length: $fsize");
    }

hitesh在2013年12月30日提交的答案实际上是有效的。只是需要一点点调整:

PHP文件可以调用自己。换句话说，只需创建一个名为saveass .php的文件，并将此代码放入其中…

        <a href="saveAs.php?file_source=YourDataFile.pdf">Download pdf here</a>

    <?php
        if (isset($_GET['file_source'])) {
            $fullPath = $_GET['file_source'];
            if($fullPath) {
                $fsize = filesize($fullPath);
                $path_parts = pathinfo($fullPath);
                $ext = strtolower($path_parts["extension"]);
                switch ($ext) {
                    case "pdf":
                    header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"".$path_parts["basename"]."\""); // use 'attachment' to force a download
                    header("Content-type: application/pdf"); // add here more headers for diff. extensions
                    break;
                    default;
                    header("Content-type: application/octet-stream");
                    header("Content-Disposition: filename=\"".$path_parts["basename"]."\"");
                }
                if($fsize) {//checking if file size exist
                  header("Content-length: $fsize");
                }
                readfile($fullPath);
                exit;
            }
        }
    ?>

2019现代浏览器更新

这是我现在推荐的方法，但有几点注意事项:

需要一个相对现代的浏览器 如果文件非常大，您可能会采取与原始方法(iframe和cookie)类似的方法，因为以下一些操作可能会消耗至少与正在下载的文件相同大的系统内存和/或其他有趣的CPU副作用。

fetch('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/1') .then(resp => resp.blob()) .then(blob => { const url = window.URL.createObjectURL(blob); const a = document.createElement('a'); a.style.display = 'none'; a.href = url; // the filename you want a.download = 'todo-1.json'; document.body.appendChild(a); a.click(); window.URL.revokeObjectURL(url); alert('your file has downloaded!'); // or you know, something with better UX... }) .catch(() => alert('oh no!'));

2012年原创的jQuery/iframe/cookie的方法

我已经创建了jQuery文件下载插件(演示)(GitHub)，这也可以帮助您的情况。它的工作原理与iframe非常相似，但有一些很酷的功能，我发现相当方便:

Very easy to setup with nice visuals (jQuery UI Dialog, but not required), everything is tested too User never leaves the same page they initiated a file download from. This feature is becoming crucial for modern web applications successCallback and failCallback functions allow for you to be explicit about what the user sees in either situation In conjunction with jQuery UI a developer can easily show a modal telling the user that a file download is occurring, disband the modal after the download starts or even inform the user in a friendly manner that an error has occurred. See the Demo for an example of this.

下面是一个简单的用例演示，使用带有承诺的插件源代码。演示页面还包括许多其他“更好的用户体验”示例。

$.fileDownload('some/file.pdf')
    .done(function () { alert('File download a success!'); })
    .fail(function () { alert('File download failed!'); });

使用iframe的简单示例

function downloadURL(url) {
    var hiddenIFrameID = 'hiddenDownloader',
        iframe = document.getElementById(hiddenIFrameID);
    if (iframe === null) {
        iframe = document.createElement('iframe');
        iframe.id = hiddenIFrameID;
        iframe.style.display = 'none';
        document.body.appendChild(iframe);
    }
    iframe.src = url;
};

然后在任何你想要的地方调用这个函数:

downloadURL(“path / to /我的文件”);

Firefox和Chrome测试:

var link = document.createElement('a');
link.download = 'fileName.ext'
link.href = 'http://down.serv/file.ext';

// Because firefox not executing the .click() well
// We need to create mouse event initialization.
var clickEvent = document.createEvent("MouseEvent");
clickEvent.initEvent("click", true, true);

link.dispatchEvent(clickEvent);

这实际上是firefox的“chrome”方式解决方案(我没有在其他浏览器上测试过，所以请留下关于可编译性的评论)
