I installed codeigniter 3 and dompdf. I followed a tutorial what is working perfect. At the moment every time i load the view for example localhost/codeigniter/welcome , the PDF is loaded directly and offered to download.
Instead i would rater like to include a clickable link the view page where the user can view the page and can decide if he want to download the page as pdf. i cant work out how to create the link. What i would need to change in my controller so the customer can view before download the page as pdf and how create the link.



Any help would be appericated



controller Welcome.php



<?php
defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');

class Welcome extends CI_Controller {

public function index()
{
$this->load->view('welcome_message');

// Get output html
$html = $this->output->get_output();

// Load pdf library
$this->load->library('pdf');

// Load HTML content
$this->dompdf->loadHtml($html);

// (Optional) Setup the paper size and orientation
$this->dompdf->setPaper('A4', 'landscape');

// Render the HTML as PDF
$this->dompdf->render();

// Output the generated PDF (1 = download and 0 = preview)
$this->dompdf->stream("welcome.pdf", array("Attachment"=>0));
}
}


libraries PHP



 <?php defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');

// reference the Dompdf namespace
use DompdfDompdf;

class Pdf
{
public function __construct(){

// include autoloader
require_once dirname(__FILE__).'/dompdf/autoload.inc.php';

// instantiate and use the dompdf class
$pdf = new DOMPDF();

$CI =& get_instance();
$CI->dompdf = $pdf;

}
}
?>
