Daniel LewisAsked on July 25, 2016 at 5:14 PMI'm also trying to automatically download a pdf when the user's redirected to a custom thank you page after filling out a JotForm. Doing this right now with a document.ready function that sets a timeout that calls window.open. The issue though is that Chrome blocks the download as a popup. Any idea how to do this without the download being blocked?

I think this issue is something related to the browser or it's settings. Generally, the PDF files are directly displayed on the chrome browser rather downloading to the PC. You may check for
You may check for the popup settings of the browser or check for any addons installed on the browser. Also, please check if the download works fine when any other browser is used.
Please check and get back to us with the web page URL where your form is embedded so that we'll try to replicate the issue at our end and see what best we can do in this regard.
Thank you!

block the download/display.The link is

It's problematic largely because most users don't know how to allow popups
or don't want to.

It's a default setting for Google Chrome and other browsers, this is for the security so not unless they'll accept popups for your website, the PDF download won't start automatically.
You have the download button in the page, you can suggest them to click that instead.
