Create image bloburl from canvas.toDataURL()

Question

I have pdf output as base64 string. I want to create bloburl for each pages from this format. So, I create bloburl for whole pdf using this base64 string. Then, I use pdfjs and display first page in newly created canvas. Now, I try to get displayed picture as image blob.

I am having error (Failed to execute 'atob' on 'Window': The string to be decoded is not correctly encoded.) when create blob by execute code b64toBlob(pag1.toDataURL('image/png',1.0),'image/png').
Then I tried b64toBlob(window.btoa(pag1.toDataURL('image/png',1.0)),'image/png') It display empty image from url created for this blob.

var b2 =pag1.toBlob(function(blob) {}, 'image/png') output undefined.

<?php
ob_start();
require_once('plugin/tcpdf/tcpdf.php');
$pdf    =new TCPDF();
$pdf->setPrintHeader(false);
$pdf->setPrintFooter(false);
$pdf->AddPage();
$html_p1='Text messaging, or texting, is the act of composing and sending electronic messages, typically consisting of alphabetic and numeric characters, between two or more users of mobile devices, desktops/laptops, or other type of compatible computer.

$pdf->writeHTML($html_p1, true, 0, true, 0);
$pdf->AddPage();
$html_p2='A telephone call is a connection over a telephone network between the called party and the calling party.';
$pdf->writeHTML($html_p2, true, 0, true, 0);
$base64PdfString = $pdf->Output('', 'E');
$base64PdfArray = explode("\r\n", $base64PdfString);
$base64 = '';
for($i = 5; $i < count($base64PdfArray); $i++) 
{
    $base64 .= $base64PdfArray[$i];
}

When I execute console.log(dataURL), It start with data:image/png;base64. So, I thought It has been base-64 encoded. But, error saying not correctly decoded. Why is it so and how to create imagebloburl from canvas displaying pdf page?

Thanks in advance.

This able to create image bloburl . But show undefined when access burl variable out of the function.

  pag1.toBlob(function(blob) 
    {
       var burl =URL.createObjectURL(blob); 

    }, 'image/png');

Looking forward for better solution.
