This is my first time using jspdf so please forgive me if this is a basic problem.

I have successfully generated the pdf, opening it in a new tab on my browser, with correct filename displayed on topleft. However, when I try to download the file, the filename is not the one thats shows there but the default "download.pdf" no matter what file it is.

I figure out that the simplest solution is

const doc = new jsPDF();
// add some content here.
doc.save("the real file name i want.pdf");

which saves the file locally with no issue, however, I still want to see the file on the browser first and then decide whether to download it or not......

I did some research around, these posts are relevant but they either do not directly solve my issue or seems kind of outdated.....

How to open generated pdf using jspdf in new window

Download PDF file using jsPDF

So far, my best approaches were:

doc.output('dataurlnewwindow'); // open in a new tab but save with default name
window.open(doc.output('bloburi', {filename: `${name} pos.pdf`}), '_blank') // open in a new tab but save with blob name

Any help will be appreciated, thank you in advance!

If you create an object URI, the filename can't be altered so you could instead use a pdf viewer library to display it inline so that you can alter the download button to work or upload it to some server so that you can customise the name.
