Hello Jonathan,

I tried to download pdf of invoice using one testuser , it's working file. No html is added in string.
See attached screen shot.

Please share some more details
1. Are you facing this issue with every user or specific one.
2. Which browser you are using and version also.
3. Try to download pdf from another browser and check this issue.

Update me.

Hello,

I tested on Chrome and it is fine.

The problem is on macOS 10.13.2 / Safara 11.0.2. Same problem occurs iOS, iPhone and iPad, both with latest software updates.

Thanks

Jonathan

Update me if still issue persist.

Hello,

I tried this solution but it did not resolve the problem.

Also - when a pdf file is shared on the stream on my website the pdf file downloads correctly. So other portions of the site downloads pdf without a problem in Safari in macOS and iOS. I found the same problem in Firefox in iOS but Firefox works fine on the desktop. It is only with the invoice download.

Thanks

Jonathan

Hello,

It seems browser issue. Can you please some more solution mentioned below.

Update me with results.

I read the first article previously. It states

"This is outside of your control - the headers being sent by the school's web server determine what file type Safari thinks it is, and therefore appends the extension it thinks is appropriate. In this case, most likely the Content-Type and/or Content-Disposition headers are not being sent, or not being sent correctly. See this for a more technical explanation."

It points here for the more technical explanation - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11487365/http-header-for-downloading-microsoft-word-and-excel-files

This involves code that I don't understand.

Also the pdfs in easysocial download with no problem - it is just the pdfs generated by payplans that seem to cause the issue. I think if it was a browser issue only it would affect all the pdfs.
