How to save PDF eForm locally instead of attaching it to the work object
The requirement is to show the generated PDF eForm on screen instead of attaching it to the work object/case as an attachment. To attach the eForm to the case/WO, we have a method "AttachEForm". Like wise do we have any such method to show/open/save the eForm directly without attaching it to the case?

Yes. But, it was saving the file to the server location instead of local machine. I need something like open the PDF in user browser to see & then the option to save like we save the general PDF file.

My business requirement is to open the case attachment (i.e. when ever it got generated during the case processing or end of the assignment step after the PDF got generated) without attaching it to the case & then provide an option to the user to save it locally on their machines. Any work around is also highly appreciated, if we don't have proper solution.
Thanks

Hi santanu,
I have not implemented this. This is my business requirement.
The existing approach is : After the eForm got generated, it will be attached to the case & it will be treated as like any other attachment. This is not solving my customer requirement.
As i mentioned in my query, Once the eForm got generated it should prompt the user to save/open it locally on his machine not the server. The way Chrome browser asks the user when ever we download something from internet/site.
Let me know if you need any other info regarding this.

Hi Indumathy,
The approach you mentioned also not working. I tried to call this method before attaching the EForm to the case by passing pyEForm value of the generated EForm as PDF content.

Hi,
In the Code-Pega-PDF.View activity update the java step as below
String result=tools.sendFile(byteArray,pdfName,true,null,true);
This would open the pdf in a new tab with save/save as option.
