I'm using: https://pdfobject.com/
To display an embedded pdf file on my web app. However I cannot render a pdf created from a blob.
This is what I've tried:
var arrayBufferView = new Uint8Array(response.Body.data);
var file = new Blob([arrayBufferView], {
type: response.ContentType
});
var url = window.URL.createObjectURL(file)
PDFObject.embed(url, "#my-container");
Gets me this result on html:
<div id="my-container" class="ng-scope pdfobject-container">
<embed class="pdfobject" src="blob:http%3A//localhost%3A4000/869a8d9a-7eaa-48dd-99aa-49bf299114aa" type="application/pdf" style="overflow: auto; width: 100%; height: 100%;" internalinstanceid="88">
</div>
However the embed container displays nothing in my browser. I'm using Chrome 51.0.2704.103 m
Try using <iframe> element, requesting resource as a Blob
html
<div id="my-container" class="ng-scope pdfobject-container">
<iframe src="" type="application/pdf" width="100%" height="100%" style="overflow: auto;">
</iframe>
</div>
javascript
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
// load `document` from `cache`
xhr.open("GET", "/path/to/file.pdf", true);
xhr.responseType = "blob";
xhr.onload = function (e) {
if (this.status === 200) {
// `blob` response
console.log(this.response);
var file = window.URL.createObjectURL(this.response);
document.querySelector("iframe").src = file;
}
};
xhr.send();
