Popup or system message on list pdf download

[Bren]

Hello all.
Some of my users are confused after clicking on the list pdf download button because they don't see any visual feedback from the page that the download succeeded. Yes, it should be obvious, especially when using Chrome or Firefox and the pdf download highlights in the bottom left of the web page. Is there any way to add a popup or system message when the list pdf downloads? I googled the thought and was surprised to find virtually nothing (even not related to Fabrik or Joomla). If there's a way, please share.
Thanks in advance.

So create a custom template, modify default_buttons.php with eg

...

if ($this->showPDF) :?>
<li><a href="<?php echo $this->pdfLink;?>" onclick="myfunction()" class="pdfButton">
                <?php echo FabrikHelperHTML::icon('icon-file', FText::_('COM_FABRIK_PDF'));?>
            </a></li>
            <div id='alrt' style="fontWeight:bold;color:red"></div>

<script type=text/javascript>
function myfunction() {
  document.getElementById('alrt').innerHTML='<b>Please wait while PDF is created!!!</b>';
setTimeout(function() {document.getElementById('alrt').innerHTML='';},5000);

}           
</script>
