| Post subject: | How To Stream PDF to IE |
I have a client/server app where I generate PDF files using PDFSharp in C#. I would like to deliver the files to a web browser, preferably using a byte stream. I can do this successfully in all browsers except IE/Edge, which prohibits using a data URI pointing to PDF's. At the moment, then, I'm writing the PDF to a bucket in Amazon Web Service's S3 and then opening a new tab with that URL. This works most of the time, but occasionally glitches. So, am looking for a "better" solution. Is there one??? Thx |

Hi! I do not understand what you are doing now, but the code in our web sample was tested successfully with IE: http://www.pdfsharp.net/wiki/Clock-sample.ashx |

Thanks for the link. I tried clicking on the live sample to see what would happen, but the response just times out. Here's what I'm trying to accomplish: I send in a request to the server from the browser and am expecting two types of return: status information about the operation and a resulting PDF file. I want to display the status information on the current browser page and I want to open the PDF file in a new window/tab. My original idea was to send the PDF file as a stream of bytes within the status block and then open a new window pointing to that data with a data URI notation (data:application/pdf). That works fine in all browsers except IE, which is very restrictive when it comes to data URI's. Hence my original question. |
