how to display base64 encoded pdf?
for those who still can't do it, i found this in someone else answer, but i don't remember who...
var objbuilder = '';
objbuilder += ('<object width="100%" height="100%"
data="data:application/pdf;base64,');
objbuilder += (myBase64string);
objbuilder += ('" type="application/pdf" class="internal">');
objbuilder += ('<embed src="data:application/pdf;base64,');
objbuilder += (myBase64string);
objbuilder += ('" type="application/pdf" />');
objbuilder += ('</object>');
var win = window.open("#","_blank");
var title = "my tab title";
win.document.write('<html><title>'+ title +'</title><body style="margin-top:
0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">');
win.document.write(objbuilder);
win.document.write('</body></html>');
layer = jQuery(win.document);
this way we open the pdf in a new tab.
It should work with Chrome you can use
<iframe src="data:base64...">
<object data="data:base64...">
I've faced the same issue with IE: it's impossible to display a pdf with a base64 string.
I had to generate temporary files on the server to display them with IE he only display existing file by using a path.
You still can use JS library to display your pdf like PDF.js.
