Direct Downloads?

Oct 18, 2013

Is there a way to create a direct download (where it downloads directly onto the computer, rather than opening in a viewer)?

We have a client who wants their users to be able to download an excel sheet directly onto their hard drive so they can use the template. You can't use a CD on an iPad, and the viewer is pointless.


Not sure what you are trying to achieve here.  An iPad doesn't have a hard drive or access to file storage (or at least something the user can access)   The file in resources will open/download based on how the user has their browser setup, the default in IE if or an excel spreadsheet s to open in the browser in Safari/chrome/FF I would expect it would either download or open  in Excel. This is something you have very little control over.
