How to Save PDF from web

[marabu]

Hello Delphi-Lover,

if you don't insist on viewing the pdf document in question you could download it to your disk with this handy routine from the net (never tried myself):

Delphi-Quellcode:

uses Wininet;

function GetInetFile(const fileURL, FileName: String): boolean;
const 
  BufferSize = 1024;
var
  hSession, hURL: HInternet;
  Buffer: array[1..BufferSize] of Byte;
  BufferLen: DWORD;
  f: File;
  sAppName: string;
begin
  Result:=False;
  sAppName := ExtractFileName(Application.ExeName);
  hSession := InternetOpen(
    PChar(sAppName),
    INTERNET_OPEN_TYPE_PRECONFIG,
    nil, nil, 0
  );
  try
    hURL := InternetOpenURL(hSession, PChar(fileURL), nil, 0, 0, 0);
    try
      AssignFile(f, FileName);
      Rewrite(f,1);
      repeat
        InternetReadFile(hURL, @Buffer, SizeOf(Buffer), BufferLen);
        BlockWrite(f, Buffer, BufferLen)
      until BufferLen = 0;
      CloseFile(f);
      Result:=True;
    finally
      InternetCloseHandle(hURL)
    end
  finally
    InternetCloseHandle(hSession)
  end
end;

Wish you success
