No sure what's the issue? Use a link to the PDF and it should open/download?

the pdf design i have in a blade file....i used $evaluate to get data...that showing error undifined variable $evaluate

So you aren't asking about "download" but about the generation of a PDF? $evaluate is an internal method of Filament. Why are you using this in a Blade to generate a PDF? You should use the record data

Action::make('view_pdf')
                    ->action(function () {
                        
                    })

Yeah

Roshan_kOP•2y ago

how...

I did it with an icon column within a table personally, but you can see the principle:

Tables\Columns\IconColumn::make('pdf')
                ->label('PDF')
                ->boolean()
                ->toggleable()
                ->default(1)
                ->trueIcon('fluentui-document-pdf-20')
                ->action(fn (MyModel $record) => response()->download($record->generatePdf())),

Tables\Columns\IconColumn::make('pdf')
                ->label('PDF')
                ->boolean()
                ->toggleable()
                ->default(1)
                ->trueIcon('fluentui-document-pdf-20')
                ->action(fn (MyModel $record) => response()->download($record->generatePdf())),

thank you..!

toeknee•2y ago

point in my example is the response()->download()

Dennis Koch•2y ago

Return a download response

Roshan_kOP•2y ago

return response()->download(storagePath()) in this, how to give localstorage [download] as a storagePath ..

Quadrubo•2y ago

response()->download() accpets the storage path as an argument, there you should put the path of the file you want to download, see https://laravel.com/docs/10.x/responses#file-downloads

so that would be: ->download(storagePath() . '/pdfs/myfile.pdf')
