How to download PDF by using external button?

[kiranreddysn]

I have a requirement to download the PDF on button click, but i don't want to use the in-built download button. I found the solution how can do it using below code this.pdfViewer.startDownload = true; this.pdfViewer.refresh(); this.pdfViewer.startDownload = false;

But it reloads the PDF which is not good, is there a way i can download without refresh() ?

@kiranhpe Just use plain old jQuery or Javascript and do a click() trigger on the viewer's download button.
