I have an API that returns a PDF file in the content
is there a way that i can make a button that consumes this api and return the file in the browser to be downloaded ?
the PDF file is big so i will need to await it

If you downloaded the file into a MemoryStream, you can use this code:
throw new PXRedirectToFileException(new FileInfo("downloaded.pdf", null, memoryStream.ToArray()), true);

throw new PXRedirectToFileException(new FileInfo("downloaded.pdf", null, memoryStream.ToArray()), true);
this may solve the second problem
but i still need to fix the first problem which is, i cant make the button async to wait the api call.

i solved the problem by using Task.Run and Task.Wait
and used the
throw new PXRedirectToFileException(new FileInfo("downloaded.pdf", null, memoryStream.ToArray()), true);
