Pdfmake: Not working with IE11

[AndrewPreciado]

I am exporting tables using pdfmake as well as exporting a ui-grid.
Using IE (ver. 11.1066.14393.0).

I am using
.open()
because I want to the pdf to export to a new tab.

When I hit the button to export the report, it opens a blank page with a msg that says
"Do you want to allow this website to open an app on your computer?"

If I hit allow it opens another pop up that says
"You will need a new app to open this blob"

With an option that gives me a chance to look for an app in the Microsoft store.

I will click that link and it shows no results for "blob"

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

In Internet Explorer 11 is supported only download() method.
Supported browsers are described here: https://github.com/bpampuch/pdfmake/issues/800

Good to know.

Is there a way for me to use both open() and download() depending if they are using say firefox/chrome or IE11?

Yes, use browser detection (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2400935/browser-detection-in-javascript , or other link on google) and then according to call open() or download().

We need to use the open() method for the main browsers ie10 / ie11 / chrome etc...
When the open() method will be available?

@jeco123 Try to ask Microsoft, when adds open tab support to Internet Explorer... In chrome is available.
