Re: Display / Download PDF document from IFS via HTTP

on the server side, you can use the readfile function in php. readfile
will read the file on the IFS and write the contents to stdout. Then you
call the PHP header function to set the HTTP header properties to indicate
that stdout contains an attachment. The readfile documentation contains an
example.
https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.readfile.php

<?php

$file = '/home/doc.pdf';

if (file_exists($file)) {

header('Content-Description: File Transfer');

header('Content-Type: application/pdf');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename="'.basename($file).'"');
header('Expires: 0');

header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate');

header('Pragma: public');

header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($file));

readfile($file);

exit;

}

?>

on the client side you run javascript code that runs $.ajax ( jquery ) or
fetch ( native javascript ) which calls up to the server, to your PHP
endpoint that runs the readfile code. I can show you that tomorrow if you
need it. There is a javascript PDF library named pdf.js that works well to
render the contents of a PDF file in an HTML5 <canvas> element .
