display pdf with the returned data - not iframe - by using ajax call - JQuery
This question is not answering my situation as it is not providing a solution, and I am wondering if now (by 2018) we have a better approach.
So the problem is I would like to call my server which is creating pdf file (not physically) and giving the contents of the file as stream to the http response
. Now, with an ajax call to this web service, I want to display the returned data as a pdf file if possible.
function callProducePdf(webServiceUrl, resultAreaId){
var jqxhr = $.ajax({
type:"GET",
url: webServiceUrl
});
jqxhr.done(function(data){
//data contains the pdf in inputStream form
//how can I display the pdf in resultAreaId which is a div?
//if I do something like this it works but this is not what I want
var iframe = $('<iframe height="500px">');
iframe.attr('src', webServiceUrl);
resultAreaId.prepend(iframe, "<br>");
});
jqxhr.fail(function(){
//I have this function defined which is working fine
appendError(resultAreaId);
});
}
server side code:
@GetMapping("/producePdfWithDefault")
public ModelAndView producePdfWithDefault(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) {
Resource resource = new ClassPathResource("/path/a/static/pdf/file.pdf");
InputStream resourceAsStream;
try {
resourceAsStream = resource.getInputStream();
byte resourceInBytes = Base64.encodeBase64(IOUtils.toByteArray(resourceAsStream));
response.reset();
response.setContentType("application/pdf");
response.setHeader("content-disposition","inline; filename=documentPreview.pdf");
response.setContentLength(resourceInBytes.length);
OutputStream output = response.getOutputStream();
output.write(resourceInBytes);
output.flush();
output.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
response.setStatus(500);
}
return null;
}
Any help is much appreciated. Thank you..

@NegiRox unfortunately after converting the returned data to byte array, it displays the data as it is (byte array)

no i am talking about your response is it byteArray?
– Negi Rox
Nov 20 '18 at 13:53
@NegiRox yea I converted the output to byte array on the server side, so the data I am getting with my ajax request is in byte array form. see the edited section of my question.

You can use PDF.js to render your PDF into a canvas
element.
The demo below is from their examples

I can convert it to byteArray on the server side. let me try it.

Nov 20 '18 at 13:36
@NegiRox unfortunately after converting the returned data to byte array, it displays the data as it is (byte array)
– sticky_elbows
Nov 20 '18 at 13:50
no i am talking about your response is it byteArray?
– Negi Rox
Nov 20 '18 at 13:53
@NegiRox yea I converted the output to byte array on the server side, so the data I am getting with my ajax request is in byte array form. see the edited section of my question.
