I'm trying to open a pdf file on the input click. Please let me know if it's possible on not?

This is my form

<form>
     <input type="text" name="response"/>
</form>

I know if I want to open a file I should take type=file and when I click Enter I want to open a pdf file.

view to open a pdf file.

def pdf_view(request):
    try:
        return FileResponse(open('resume.pdf', 'rb'), content_type='application/pdf')
    except FileNotFoundError:
        raise Http404()

The above view works fine i.e when I click /pdf/ it renders the pdf in browser but is it possible to open a file when I type pdf in text field and it renders a file for me ?

as @DenizKaplan suggested please look ContentDisposition – scriptmonster May 17 '20 at 11:12
no, it did not help since it makes the whole page inside a pdf not my content @DenizKaplan – Zodiac May 17 '20 at 11:20
