To download a PDF file from a public folder in Symfony, you can follow these steps:
- Create a route in your Symfony routes configuration file (e.g., config/routes.yaml) to handle the download request:
pdf_download:
path: /download/pdf/{filename}
controller: AppControllerDownloadController::pdfDownload
- Create a controller class (e.g., DownloadController) to handle the download request. In this controller, define a method (e.g., pdfDownload) to retrieve the PDF file from the public folder and send it as a response:
namespace AppController;
use SymfonyBundleFrameworkBundleControllerAbstractController;
use SymfonyComponentHttpFoundationResponse;
use SymfonyComponentHttpFoundationBinaryFileResponse;
use SymfonyComponentHttpFoundationResponseHeaderBag;
class DownloadController extends AbstractController
{
public function pdfDownload($filename)
{
$pdfPath = $this->getParameter('kernel.project_dir') . '/public/pdf/' . $filename;
return new BinaryFileResponse($pdfPath);
}
}
- Place your PDF file in the public folder (e.g., public/pdf/) of your Symfony project.
- Now, you can use the generated route to download the PDF file by accessing the following URL pattern:
http://localhost/download/pdf/{filename}
Replace {filename} with the actual name of your PDF file.
When a user accesses the download URL, Symfony will retrieve the PDF file from the public folder and send it as a response to the browser, prompting the user to download the file.
