PDF files in Pega PDF File inline view download as HTML
We use below Java function to preview Files. (This Activity call inside a HTML section and isDownload set to false since we need to preview)
tools.sendFile(tools.findPage("TempFile"),"pyAttachStream",true,"pxAttachName",null,true,null,IsDownload);
When click of a button as mentioned in below image its preview successfully.
But when click on download its Save as HTML as mentioned below.
Any idea on how to fix this issue?

@SurathM4 The issue you're experiencing may be due to the way the PDF inline preview works. When the title of a PDF file is not specified in the PDF file’s document properties, the current clipboard thread appears as the PDF title.
If a PDF file does not have a title, PDF inline preview displays the PDF document title as the clipboard thread name. This is expected behavior because the PDF inline preview uses the iframe provided by the browser for displaying PDF files. You can resolve this issue by updating the document properties of the PDF file to include a document title or by disabling PDF inline preview in your browser.
Also:
The issue might be due to missing or incorrectly set headers. When you're using the 'sendFile' method, you need to ensure that the headers are correctly set. You should use the 'put' method of the 'headers' object to set the 'ContentType' to 'application/pdf' and the 'ContentDisposition' to 'inline;filename=\"'+org.apache.commons.lang.StringEscapeUtils.unescapeHtml(pdfName)+'\";filename*=UTF-8'''+StringUtils.encodeURL(pdfName)+'.pdf'. This should resolve the issue with the file name in the 'Save As' window.
