Download PDF document in PDF Viewer component

The PDF Viewer supports downloading the loaded PDF file. You can enable or disable the download using the following example.

<div style="width:100%;height:600px">
    <ejs-pdfviewer id="pdfviewer"
                   style="height:600px"
                   documentPath="https://cdn.syncfusion.com/content/pdf/pdf-succinctly.pdf"
                   enableDownload="true">
    </ejs-pdfviewer>
</div>
<div style="width:100%;height:600px">
    <ejs-pdfviewer id="pdfviewer"
                   style="height:600px"
                   serviceUrl="/api/PdfViewer"
                   documentPath="https://cdn.syncfusion.com/content/pdf/pdf-succinctly.pdf"
                   enableDownload="true">
    </ejs-pdfviewer>
</div>

You can also programmatically invoke the download action using the download() method, as shown below:

<div style="width:100%;height:600px">
    <ejs-pdfviewer id="pdfviewer"
                   style="height:600px"
                   documentPath="https://cdn.syncfusion.com/content/pdf/form-designer.pdf"
                   enableDownload="true"
                   documentLoad="documentLoaded">
    </ejs-pdfviewer>
</div>
<script>
    function documentLoaded() {
        var pdfViewer = document.getElementById('pdfviewer').ej2_instances[0];
        pdfViewer.download();
    }
</script>
<div style="width:100%;height:600px">
    <ejs-pdfviewer id="pdfviewer"
                   style="height:600px"
                   serviceUrl="/api/PdfViewer"
                   documentPath="https://cdn.syncfusion.com/content/pdf/form-designer.pdf"
                   enableDownload="true"
                   documentLoad="documentLoaded">
    </ejs-pdfviewer>
</div>
<script>
    function documentLoaded() {
        var pdfViewer = document.getElementById('pdfviewer').ej2_instances[0];
        pdfViewer.download();
