Internet Explorer 8: Faca O download!
Arnau Cyr
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:
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.
I know this question is old, but also wanted to accomplish this and came across it while looking. For internet explorer I used code from here to save a Blob. To create a blob from the base64 string there were many results on this site, so its not my code I just can't remember the specific source:
