Hi Naveen,

Forget about jQuery.

Use the Marketo forms API. The doc is here: http://developers.marketo.com/javascript-api/forms/

And some examples will definitely help you: http://developers.marketo.com/rest-api/assets/forms/examples/ and especially the one titled "Take Visitor to User-Defined URL"

In addition, when submitting such questions always:

[1] Provide the URL of your runnable code (the HTML you've provided is of no use because it doesn't even contain the rendered <form> tag.

[2] If posting code inline, highlight it using the Advanced Editor's syntax highlighter:

Can't you just tell the Form to redirect to the PDF instead? Not sure you need special code unless you want a new window.

Yes and no!

Naveen is implying that he's using the MktoForms2 lightbox feature (at least I think so, it hasn't been shown yet). Because that has its own subset of the Forms API event model I want to see that it's set up correctly.

The wider problem is that it's actually impossible to force a ​download ​of a PDF with Marketo forms, as you know. So unfortunately the precise answer is "You can't do this," although you can have a PDF either ​download or open.
