PDF Embed API : No Download option in iOS

[bhargav.thogata]

I'm trying to embed the pdf in sized container.

I have observed the Download option is coming for Andriod but not for iOS.

I have checked the Demo page and i can observe the Download option is not coming if i choose iPhone X device.

We desperately needed this feature ASAP. Please guide whom to reach out for this feature ? or where to raise feature request ?

Thanks for using PDF Embed API.

In the current implementation, download PDF option is not available on iOS devices. We will consider this request for our future releases.

Hi @Sumona Ghosh ,

As of now we are stuck here. Is there anyway this feature will be added soon ?

we need  this for a key functionality in a website.

We have added this request to the product backlog. Unfortunately, I can't provide any date, but we will let you know once this feature is in place. Thanks.

Not at this time - but have you tried including a link to the PDF? 

[Raymond Camden]

In the meantime, you can use regular HTML to link to the PDF and add the download attribute. This will force the PDF to download and not render. Details here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/a#attr-download

Is there any update for download feature on ios? @Raymond Camden . <a href download> doesn't wok for ios apps.

[Raymond Camden]

None and not planned as far as I know. If <a download> isn't working,  you may have to rely on a regular link, asking the user to download the PDF when viewed.

Are there any licensing costs involved in this Embed SDK API now or in the future releases ? 

Is this API free for unlimited calls ?

[Sumona Ghosh]

The current services available in the PDF Embed API are free to use; no limitations on the number of calls.
