Answer 1

You can do this in two methods
1: Using Ajax:
First insert your data then in the success redirect to your file .
2: using controller to redirect you to the file
use form to submit the data you want to controller then via controller redirect it to your file after adding data to database
something like this
public function AddDataToDatabase(Request $request)
{
$datas=New DataModal();
$datas->name = $request->name;
$datas->address = $request->address;
$datas->lastName = $request->lastName;
$datas->email = $request->email;
$data->save();
$items=Attachments::where('id',1)->get();
return redirect('Attachments/'.$items[0]->attachmentName);
}
or Using Ajax
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: your_URL,
data: {
'name':'your_name',
'id':'your_id',
'email':'your_email',
},
success: function(data) {
window.location = 'https://localhost/sample.pdf';
},
error: function(e) {
console.log(e);
}
});
then in your controller create a new method like this:
public function AddDataToDatabase(Request $request)
{
$datas=New DataModal();
$datas->name = $request->name;
$datas->address = $request->address;
$datas->lastName = $request->lastName;
$datas->email = $request->email;
$data->save();
return response()->json(['msg' => 'added successfully'],200);
}

Instead of a link, create form that contains the fields that you want to store in database. Make the fields hidden if they won't be filled by the user. Then submit the form to a controller. Store the data, redirect to a new path that will display the pdf.
