I am creating an application to download pdf files from url and show in my dashboard page as grid wise.
I am using node.js with express framework.
exports.pdf = function(req, response) {
var url ="http://www.ieee.org/documents/ieeecopyrightform.pdf";
http.get(url, function(res) {
var chunks = [];
res.on('data', function(chunk) {
console.log('start');
chunks.push(chunk);
});
res.on("end", function() {
console.log('downloaded');
var jsfile = new Buffer.concat(chunks).toString('base64');
console.log('converted to base64');
response.header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*");
response.header("Access-Control-Allow-Headers", "X-Requested-With");
response.header('content-type', 'application/pdf');
response.send(jsfile);
});
}).on("error", function() {
console.log("error");
});
};
