Using pdf.js to display pdf from raw data

Question

I am just getting started with pdf.js and I am trying to load a pdf file from the raw pdf data. I have seen the code:

PDFJS.getPdf(\'cwpdf.pdf\', function getPdf         


        

Answer 1

Well, since no one else has answered I will post my findings. I figured out that yes, it is possible to load a pdf file from the raw data. The way this can be done is by using a UInt8Array populated with data in place of the url to where the pdf file is stored.

Example code to do this is below:

var int8View = new Uint8Array(...); //populate int8View with the raw pdf data
PDFJS.getDocument(int8View).then(function(pdf) {

}
