get pdf without file extension

I also have this issue on 7.x-dev.

You need to change the name of the view.

Hi Dave,
Have the same issue here on 6.x. What exactly did you change to get the .pdf?

Thanks
Mark

Hi Dave,

Thanks!
Sadly, I couldn't get it to work... Did you use an argument in your view?

Thx
Mark

Is there any interest in changing the behavior? So ".pdf" is added in any case, independent on the name?

Think that would be great.
Hoped to have my Ubercart "invoice" sending with mime-mail, but wondering what my customers would think when they receive something like "67" as filename...

Thanks
Mark

Last commit contains the bug fix for 6.x and 7.x. Important you need the dev versions. The get build tonight.

Checked the dev version, but no apperent changes for 6.x

What changed?

Thanks
Mark

Hi there,

although this is a closed issue and nearly three years old...:

Is it still the recommended solution to change the view-name directly in the DB??
Obviously the view-name is used for the generated file, which is downloaded by the browser, but is there no other way to get this simple ".pdf" added to the filename?

Most of the browsers I tested, fortunately open the pdf anyhow, but if the browser is set to "download only" the pdfs without opening them directly, the user will find an unknown fileformat in his download folder, and is asked how this should be opened... which could scare some users...

Any idea or news on this?

This is a very big problem of usability not solved for me.
Any news?

Need more information. This was fixed in 2011. How are you getting a PDF with no extension?

We just discovered the same issue. Comment #12 explains the steps to replicate. PDFs are generated and viewed successfully as long as the file opens in the browser via acrobat/reader. If the user's browser is set to save/download the file, the file never gets the proper file extension.
