  Hi,

  I’m using FlexGridPdfConverter to export a grid which then downloads a pdf.
  
  Is it possible to not download but send to new browser window and use browser build in pdf viewer?

  Regards,

  Arthur

  Hi Arthur,

  You may use the URL.createObjectURL() method to convert the pdf blob to a URL and open it in a new tab. Please refer to the following code snippet and the sample demonstrating the same:

  let doc = new pdf.PdfDocument({
      ended: (sender, args) => {
        let url = window.URL.createObjectURL(args.blob);
        window.open(url);
      }
    });
    gridPdf.FlexGridPdfConverter.draw(grid, doc);
    doc.end();
