Downloading on Forms

[Das Goravani]

I just looked it up and .crdownload means the download is in progress.

But they never finish.

Maybe it refers to the original file creation not being complete.

I want to use $pdfcomplete to make sure of this but it’s not working in my pdf printing object class

So I went with a repeat loop that has sleep(500) in it, and a max of 10 iterations, testing if file is complete

I am using $settemp to create the file, so I don’t know if that works with "test if file exists"

Meaning I don’t know if those as files appear already created even though they are still being filled up with PDF

The PDF I’m testing with shouldn’t take long to compose
