How to Easily Save PDF in a React Application Using react-pdf Library

Creating a PDF file in a React application is a common feature that developers often need. Whether you are generating reports, invoices, or any documentation, the ability to save a PDF is crucial. If you're using the react-pdf library for this purpose, you might wonder how to save the generated PDF to your local directory when a button is clicked. In this post, we will explore a straightforward solution to achieve this.

Understanding the Problem

In your React application, you want to create a PDF document and enable users to save it on their local devices. Initially, you might have tried using a button to trigger the document's creation, but it seems like nothing is happening. The typical save() method found in libraries like jsPDF isn't directly available in react-pdf, which leads to confusion.

To address this issue, I'll guide you through the steps necessary to implement PDF downloading using react-pdf.
