So here my problem: I have a pdf file as a base64 String that i am getting from the server. I would like to use this string to either display the PDF directly to the browser or give it a option of "Save as..." when clicking on a link. Here the code i am using:
<!doctype>
<html>
<head>
<title>jsPDF</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="../libs/base64.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="../libs/sprintf.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="../jspdf.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function demo1() {
jsPDF.init();
jsPDF.addPage();
jsPDF.text(20, 20, 'Hello world!');
jsPDF.text(20, 30, 'This is client-side Javascript, pumping out a PDF.');
// Making Data URI
var out = jsPDF.output();
var url = 'data:application/pdf;base64,' + Base64.encode(out);
document.location.href = url;
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<a href="javascript:demo1()">Run Code</a>
</body>
</html>
Its working fine with Chrome and Safari. Firefox does recognize the pdf but does not display it as FF requires extensions to be present but the data-URI has none in this case. The reason I'm insisting here, if chrome and safari get it to work, then there has to be a solution for FF and IE
I know there are a few relevant questions to this but not really the exact one and now also a bit old ones. I know a workaround would be to have the pdf generated at server side but I would like to generate it at client side.
So please intelligent folks, is it possible through some hacks or additional JS download plugins?
