Variable value with get and set gets re-initialised when constructor is called

<apex:page id="pg" sidebar="false" showHeader="false" standardStylesheets="false" applyHtmlTag="false" 
    controller="MultipleSalarySlips" renderAs="{!if(isRender == true, "PDF", '')}">
    <html>
        <head>
        </head>
    <apex:form id="frm">
        <table style = "margin-left: 560px;border: 2px solid;padding: 19px;border-radius:5px;background-color:#f1d1bf;display:{!if(isRender == true, 'None','')}" id = "firstTable">
            <!--Table 1 code-->
        </table>
        

        <table style="width:100%;margin-top: 50px;border-collapse: collapse;page-break-after:always;">
                  <!--Table 2 code with repeate-->
        </table>

Hi,
I am facing very unusual and silly issue. I have a vf page with render as pdf based on a condition. The page contains two tables. I am hiding first table conditionally so that second table can generate with proper pdf format. Here is what should happen: On button click of first table a new tab should open and first table should be hidden and second table should be visible in pdf format. What happens is a new tab opens but first table does not get hidden as the condition (isRender remains false) remains true. Above is the code for more understanding.

This is how I did it. I used <apex:actionFunction> to call the method. This way it directly called the method.

VF Page
<apex:actionFunction id="downloadSlips" name="downloadSlips" action="{!downloadSlip}"/>
<apex:commandButton title="Download" value="Download" onclick="downloadFunc(); return false;"/>
<script>            
function downloadFunc() {
    downloadSlips();
}

Check with below small change  -
​ <table style = "margin-left: 560px;border: 2px solid;padding: 19px;border-radius:5px;background-color:#f1d1bf;display:{if(isRender == true, 'None','')}" id ="firstTable">

Removed "!" before If condition. Check and let me know.

Thanks,

Hi Nitin. Thanks for replying. It still does not render as PDF. I think on new tab, constructor gets called and isRender is set to false again.

Yes right.. thats what I was having on mind.. why are using getter setter for isRender.. cant it be done inside or some static variable..

I am using that variable in vf page to conditionally render tables as well as to render page as pdf or as normal. Am I missing something? Is there another way to do this?

Hi there!
The problem is the 1st table is not hidden?

then change the display condition to display: {!if(isRender == true, '','None')}
<table style = "margin-left: 560px;border: 2px solid;padding: 19px;border-radius:5px;background-color:#f1d1bf;display:{!if(isRender == true, '','None')}" id = "firstTable">

Hi! Thanks for the reply. That will hide the first table on page load only. I want to hide first table when isRender is set to true after clicking button on first table (on new tab). But what happens is after clicking on button of first table a new tab opens, constructor gets called and the variable is set to false again.
