Web-Service that streams the PDF file:
header('Pragma: public');
header('Expires: 0');
header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0');
header('Cache-Control: public');
header("Content-length: " . $filesize);
header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
header('Content-type: application/pdf');
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename={$name}");
header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
header('Cache-Control: max-age=0');
ob_start();
fpassthru($fp);
$response = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
return $response;
jQuery code where the request is initiated and response is utilized:
$.ajax({
url: "/xxx/xxx/1/xxx/5",
type: "GET",
async: true,
dataType: 'binary',
headers:{'Content-Type':'application/pdf',
'X-Requested-With':'XMLHttpRequest',
},
processData: false,
success: function(data,status,xhr) {
var file = new Blob([data], {type: 'application/pdf'});
var fileURL = URL.createObjectURL(file);
var a = document.createElement("a");
a.href = fileURL;
a.download = "Testing.pdf";
document.body.appendChild(a);
a.click();
$(window).on('focus', function(e) {
$('a').remove();
});
},
error: function(XMLHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown) {
console.log("fail");
}
The PDF file is generated perfectly, and opens automatically. The only problem here is the PDF content comes empty when should have text!
Does anybody have an idea why this is happening?
