I am trying to return a file from my remote method:
Visitor.remoteMethod('getVisitorsPDF', {
description: 'Get visitors list in PDF file',
accepts: [
{ arg: 'res', type: 'object', http: { source: 'res' } },
{ arg: 'dateInStart', type: 'string' },
{ arg: 'dateInEnd', type: 'string' },
{ arg: 'employeeSiteId', type: 'string' },
{ arg: 'name', type: 'string' },
{ arg: 'visitorCompany', type: 'string' },
{ arg: 'employeeName', type: 'string' },
{ arg: 'typeId', type: 'number' },
{ arg: 'shift', type: 'number' },
],
returns: {},
http: { path: '/getpdf', verb: 'get' },
});
And the code to generate pdf is :
res.set('Content-Type', 'application/octet-stream');
res.set('Content-Disposition', 'attachment;filename="visitors.pdf"');
let options = { format: 'A4' };
// Example of options with args //
// let options = { format: 'A4', args: ['--no-sandbox', '--disable-setuid-sandbox'] };
let file = { content: "<h1>Welcome to html-pdf-node</h1>" };
// or //
let file = { url: "https://example.com" };
html_to_pdf.generatePdf(file, options).then(pdfBuffer => {
console.log("PDF Buffer:-", pdfBuffer);
res.send(pdfBuffer);
});
But the pdf recieve is corrupted. What i am doing wrong here ? any help will be appreciated. The package i am using is html-pdf-node
I'm using a different package to render pdf (jsreport) but the headers should not differ:
res.set('Content-Type', renderedData.headers['content-type']);
res.set('Content-Disposition', renderedData.headers['content-disposition']);
res.set('Content-Transfer-Encoding', 'binary');
Try to add the "Content-Transfer-Encoding" one.
