Hi Jürgen, 

 

Thanks for your interest in Syncfusion products. 

 

Yes, byte streams can be loaded in to the PDF viewer control to display the PDF document. The code snippet for loading the PDF file as a byte stream in the PDF viewer is given below, 

 

Code snippet: 

PdfViewerHelper helper = new PdfViewerHelper(); 

MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream(File.ReadAllBytes(Helper.GetFilePath("F# Succinctly.pdf"))); 

helper.Load(stream); 

 

A sample which illustrates loading PDF document using byte stream into PDF viewer is available in the following link.

Hi Sabari,

the solution can't work. In javascript is not a command "memorystream". And the sample works with a file. We get a base64String or a byteStream from the server (c# Generic handler  .ashx) and would load it in the viewer. But it doesn't work. We have no file.

It is possible to load the base64String or a byteStream from a server (ajax request) into the pdf viewer?

Hi Jürgen, 

 

Sorry for the inconvenience caused. 

 

The code snippet provided in the previous update is to be implemented in PdfViewerController in WebApi(server side). 

 

Yes, it is possible to load base64 string to the PDF Viewer control in the client side. We have created a sample which illustrates the loading of PDF document as base64 string into the PDF Viewer. The sample is available in the following link, 

http://www.syncfusion.com/downloads/support/forum/125017/ze/Sample1345948333 

 

Working with the sample: 

·       When the sample is ran, a web page is displayed with a dropdown list containing document names from the Data folder.  

·       When a value in the dropdown list is selected, the ‘change’ event is triggered. At the change event handler, an AJAX request is fired to the “GetFileStream” action method of PdfViewerController. 

·       At the “GetFileStream” method, the file path is got from the value in the dropdown list. Then the FileStream is created using the file path. The stream is stored in a memory stream. Then it is converted to byte array. From the byte array, the base64 string is created and returned to the client side. 

·       After the success of the AJAX request, the control is initialized and the base64 string is applied to load API of the PdfViewer control.  

  

Please let us know if you have any concerns.

Hi Sabari,

so it can't work. We get with the ajax command in the "sucess:" the data.

We then pass the data in the Load command and then we get "a split error". Whether binary or base64.

Why the service is called within the sucess again?
. $ ("# Container") ejPdfViewer ({ServiceUrl: '../api/PdfViewer'});

That's not logical.

Why can not store a Base64 or Binarischen value simply in obj.load(binaryFile or base64 string)?
