How it works
The browser calls TXTextControl.saveDocument with AdobePDF. The callback returns the PDF data, which is placed in a temporary download link and clicked programmatically.
This avoids a server round trip and is ideal for user-triggered downloads. Use the server-side export demo when the PDF must be processed or stored centrally.
