Remove controller action name from url
I'm having what I feel might be a simple issue but am kind struggling with it. I have an action in my Controller that downloads a pdf when a button is clicked in the View. The PDF download but the issue is after I click it the action remains in the browser and downloads the PDF every time I reload the page.
Example of URL
Before I click button
https://matrix-spam-camp.c9users.io
After I click of the button this stays in URL until I delete it manually from the browser.
https://matrix-spam-camp.c9users.io/download_pdf
/app/app/views/portfolio/main.html.erb (link)
<%= link_to download_pdf_path, class: 'download-btn', remote: true do %>
<%= image_tag('img_btn_icon.png') %> <span class='resume-btn-text'>Resume</span>
<% end %>
/app/app/controllers/portfolio_controller.rb
def download_pdf
send_file "#{Rails.root}/app/assets/docs/resume.pdf", type: "application/pdf", x_sendfile: true
end
/app/config/routes.rb
get 'download_pdf', to: "portfolio#download_pdf"
Any help with this issue will be greatly appreciated.

Yeah, unfortunately, its been doing this before I added remote: true.

Nov 27 '18 at 2:10
then maybe it's the remote true that isn't working, do you have//= require rails-ujson your application.js file? do you have other remote parts on your application that are working as expected?
– xploshioOn
Nov 27 '18 at 2:16
Yes, I have//= require rails-ujsin application.js. No, I this is the only remote item so far.

So I was able to solve this by adding a target: _blank to the link_to.
<%= link_to :download, class: 'download-btn', target: "_blank" do %>
<%= image_tag('img_btn_icon.png') %> <span class='resume-btn-text'>Resume</span>
<% end %>
This prevents the download button from applying the name for the controller action being called by the link_to from being placed in the browsers URL.
