Browse PDF files without downloading, using dompdf

Question

I generated a PDF using the dompdf library and used this:

$dompdf->stream('my.pdf',array('Attachment'=>0));

Force the browser to let users view the PDF before downloading. But this doesn't work. A Google search didn't give any answers either. Can anyone help?

Answer 1

If anyone is still looking for an answer and it still doesn't solve the problem, try installing and opening the PDF Viewer/PDF JS extension in your browser.

After adding the parameter array("Attachment"=>0) or array("Attachment"=>false) to the stream, it still doesn't work. . This is because your browser does not have a pdf reader available/activated. Installing and activating browser extensions such as PDF Viewer / PDFJS will force the browser to read and review pdfs.

Answer 2

Try using the code below. Let me know if you are creating the data from form or html file data.

$dompdf->stream("dompdf_out.pdf", array("Attachment" => false));

exit(0);
