However the users get messages from chrome saying it blocks pop ups.
What is the solution for this? The pfd is in the same url domain as the the page they were on.

03/23/2021, 4:55 PMconsidering that you cant do that clientside, that doesnt sound very direct

03/23/2021, 5:01 PMIts too much code to post. But what are you saying makes sense

03/23/2021, 5:02 PMprobably is a time limit too, so that too much code just cements the no longer direct thing
