I am trying to render a PDF using PDFJS Library. https://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/examples/

We are receiving Content-type as "application/octet-stream; charset=UTF-8" like below from an API that we are calling within javascript from our HTML. But PDF JS is not able to use app/octet stream directly. Is there any way to natively get base64 from the octet stream in Javascript,so it can be used by PDFJS.

PDF JS can directly use base64 string : https://jsfiddle.net/pdfjs/cq0asLqz/

Try `multer`. You can find it on npm – ABDULLOKH MUKHAMMADJONOV Oct 07 '21 at 18:15
We are using plain Javascript and html in the application. NPM will not be a possibility for us – Vipul Oct 11 '21 at 12:20
I don't know how to do it in plain javascript. But in react I would use `URL.createObjectURL(pdfFile)` the use it as `src` – ABDULLOKH MUKHAMMADJONOV Oct 11 '21 at 12:32
did you find any solution to it ? – Mayur Agarwal Apr 05 '22 at 14:22
