Can I redirect my PDF File to my php homepage?

Question

Good Day, I've been for some solution to my problem. I used TCPDF-master to generate PDF report. The thing is, after I generate a PDF File, and print. I don't know how to redirect it back to my transaction page. I'm using mysqli, php and html to PDF file. Thanks in Advance.

Answer 1

You can't redirect from your PDF to your site. The best solution is to open the PDF in another tab in the browser, so when the user finish to use the PDF only have to close the PDF tab.

Answer 2

If you must generate a link inside the PDF itself the Writehtml() method on your TCPDF object may help. see this link https://tcpdf.org/examples/example_006/

$html = '<a href="whatever">your link text</a>';
$pdf->writeHTML($html, true, false, true, false, '');
