No its not working and it display the following error Call to undefined method Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\BinaryFileResponse::with() — Adnan Ali, May 02 '19 at 08:24
I don't think you can Redirect and download(as response) at the same time. You can use ajax if you need to show message as well as download file. Sample Code return response()->json([ 'message' => 'This is message test', 'pathToFile' => $pathToFile, ]); In ajax code: success: function(result) { alert(result.message); window.open( result.pathToFile, '_blank'); }, — azm_shah, May 02 '19 at 08:32
is there any other way to download the file and redirect back to page?? — Adnan Ali, May 02 '19 at 08:32
No, there can be one response. In your downloading the file is the response. — azm_shah, May 02 '19 at 08:34

Finally after consuming much time on it i have got solution to that problem firstly i have set a session veritable with document id in my controller and redirect back to upload.blade.php page and in the blade page section of script i got the document id with session variable and pass this id to my document download route and register a route for downloading document in web.php and in jquery_download function return the response download(). Following is the code

############# insert Document Function

 if(isset($request->document_id))
        {

            $document = Document::find($request->document_id)->pluck('docpath')->first();
            echo $document;
            echo $document_id = $request->document_id; 
            echo $pathToFile = public_path()."\\".$document;
            // Session::flash("success", "Your File Downloaded Successfully!");
           Session::flash("successTo", "$document_id");
           return redirect()->back();
            // return Response::download($pathToFile);

        }

##################### Upload Blade

 <script>
    @if(Session::has('successTo'))
    $(document).ready(function () {
        id  = {{ Session::get('successTo') }};
        window.location.href = "/download/documenta/"+id;
    });

    @endif
</script>

##################### WEB.php

 Route::get('/download/documenta/{id}', 'DocumentController@jquery_download')->name('jquery_download');

################ DOWNLOAD DOCUMENT FUNCTION IN CONTROLLER

 public function jquery_download($id)
    {
        $document = Document::find($id)->pluck('docpath')->first();
        echo $pathToFile = public_path()."\\".$document;
        return Response::download($pathToFile);
    }
