Programmatically Downloading PDFs in Spotfire

[Christophe le lannou]

I am trying to manage the generation of PDFs programmatically within a Spotfire dashboard. It works easily when using the “Export to PDF” option via an action command in a Text Area. However, in my case, I need to generate multiple PDFs with various filter settings.

Using Ironpython, I can generate a PDF and save it on the server using the following command :

exportResult = report.ExportToPdf("c:Sourcetest.pdf")

as explained in the page below.

My question is : how can I enable the users to download the PDF to their local computers ? Since the Spotfire servers are on a different network, the download would need to happen via the browser.

Thanks for your insights!
