Here i am setting the document link dynamically.For any .docx file its downloading but in case of any pdf related file its opening in new page not donloading.Here i need all files should download directly.Please help me.

Answer 1

Cross-Browser solution, all files (pdf, jpg, docx, etc.) will be downloaded (Chrome, Firefox, IE). I am using it and it works like charm.

$window.open(URL_WHERE_YOU_GET_THE_FILE(BINARY), '_blank');

You also have to set some things on your response in your backend (Java example):

res.setContentType("application/octet-stream");
res.addHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + file.getName());
