I'm running into an issue with Laravel PDF Generation and the Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Extension in Chrome. With this extension installed, whenever you view a PDF on Chrome, you get a little button that allows you to open the PDF in Adobe Acrobat Reader DC:
For most PDFs, when you click this, it opens the PDF in the App with no issues. For PDFs generated in Laravel with the laravel-pdf DOMPDF Wrapper, when you click the button, an error is generated:
There are no further debugging details, and Google searches are being less-than-useful due to the incredibly specific nature of the combination of the Chrome plugin and Laravel PDF generation.
For reference, this is the code to generate the PDF in Laravel:
$data = $this->generatePdfData();
return PDF::loadView('test', $data)
->setOptions(['dpi' => 300,'orientation' => 'landscape'])
->setPaper('a4', 'landscape')
->stream('test.pdf');
Has anyone seen this issue before?
Also, if there is no fix for this, that is fine; at best this saves one click (directly opening vs download and opening in Acrobat), but figured I would ask anyway.
