base64 encoded PDF data about viewerjs HOT 7 OPEN

< a href="./ViewerJS/#data:application/pdf;base64,JVBERi0xLjQxxxxx..." >

can you show me the code

I got:
about:blank#blocked

error with the following code,, Here encodedString is a base64 string;:
href="./ViewerJS/#data:application/pdf;base64,<% out.println(encodedString);%>"

from viewerjs.

you mean by providing the pdf blob as a data-uri? where do you see the base64 data?

from viewerjs.

Well the server is sending me a base64 encoded string of the PDF instead of the actual path to the PDF document (don't ask why, I don't know myself). So i'm using a function to convert the base64 to uint8Array. And then I call PDFJS.getDocument(uint8Array). So in the viewer implementation, it's taking the href src from an a tag, so I was just wondering if there's a way to instead use that string. Thanks.

In general: yes

• it will require small API changes to feed a blob instead of URL

Hi @thz , Is this enhancement is implemented in latest version of viewer.js

Hi,

I wonder how should we build the link with a base64 encoded document
I did a test like this
[code] < a href="./ViewerJS/#< encoded_file_string >" > [/code]
But it does not work

Thanks.

I tried with this code:
[code] < a href="./ViewerJS/#data:application/pdf;base64,JVBERi0xLjQxxxxx..." > [/code]
It works in Firefox, but not in Chrome.
Is this the right code used?

Thanks.
