So I am trying to print a Base64 file but im not sure why it doesn't print the file.
function convertToBase64() {
var selectedFile = document.getElementById("inputFile").files;
if (selectedFile.length > 0) {
var fileToLoad = selectedFile[0];
var fileReader = new FileReader();
var base64;
fileReader.onload = function (fileLoadedEvent) {
base64 = fileLoadedEvent.target.result;
const pdfBlob = new Blob([base64], { type: "application/pdf" });
const url = URL.createObjectURL(pdfBlob);
printJS({
printable: url,
type: "pdf",
base64: true
});
};
fileReader.readAsDataURL(fileToLoad);
}
}
I pass it a pdf file that I select and convert it to Base64.Now I want to print the Base64 using Print.js but I can't make it work.
Your code isn't actually passing the base64 data to the print function, but instead, a URL.
If you want to keep your current code, just remove the base64 flag from the print params.
printJS({
printable: url,
type: 'pdf',
});
Otherwise, you could instead just pass the base64 var to the print function without creating the blog and url, the print library will handle that for you.
Ex.:
Assuming base64Data is a variable with valid base64 data.
printJS({
printable: base64Data,
type: 'pdf',
base64: true
});
