stream() doesnt work for me in Chrome ...

[dmarko484]

Thanks for such excellent dompdf binding!! I'm using it with Lataver 4, things are working smooth, I can download PDF without problem ... but stream() is working for me in Firefox but doesnt work in Chrome for me. In Chrome it just opens empty PDF and thats all. Is this just me or overall problem?

Did it ever work, or did you just started using it? Are you on the latest dev-master?

If so, could you try an older version? Require this specific commit:

"barryvdh/laravel-dompdf": "dev-master#ed95661ac8b0b0fad268a863c08eeca820134761"

Does that work in Chrome?

[barryvdh]

Does it work with other PDFs? Maybe you are missing a plugin. (See chrome://plugins/ to check for Adobe Reader or Chrome PDF plugin, perhaps disable one of them and use the other one)
Can you make a link to a streamed PDF page and do rightclick->save as and open it outside your browser. Does that give a correct PDF or empty page also?

Here is info ...

a) I just started using it. Never seen this working in my Chrome (I mean stream specificaly)
b) tried your specific commit - no change
c) tried Chrome on my collegues computer accessing my laravel app - the same issue ... the internal Chrome PDF viewer just says 'Loading ...' . Generaly I have no issues when opening PDF files from internet using my Chrome ...
d) When I do right click on this, I can save the pdf with correct name and can open it correctly in Acrobat

I just also checked latest Opera(with new webkit engine), IE --- both working fine

Thank you ...

Okay, and on Windows or linux/mac?

Does this happen with all your pdf's? Can you send me the code you are using?

Did you try the most basic pdf possible?

Route::get('hellopdf', function(){
    return PDF::loadHTML('Hello World!')->stream('download.pdf');
});

Windows 8. My collegue the same ... I tried almost the same example and even bigger with View::make() and larger html template. I'm using 'artisan serve' as web server

[barryvdh]

Just tried, works here in Windows 7/8/MacOS with Chrome, with Apache and also when using artisan serve.

Can you paste the code you are using?

[dmarko484]

I tried the same code as you mentioned. If its working for you, I'm goind to try run project on another machine ...
Route::get('hellopdf', function(){
return PDF::loadHTML('Hello World!')->stream('download.pdf');
});

[dmarko484]

Ok, just tried today under Apache (not artisan serve) and its working as expected. Thanks for such great support!!

[barryvdh]

Okay, thanks for trying it out. Please let me know if you encounter any more problems! Closing this for now.

@barryvdh I just wanted to add to this because I have a similar problem and didn't want to open a new "Issue"

It's that when I use return $pdf->stream('test.pdf');

It shows the pdf file properly in both Firefox and Chrome

And then when I want to download it in Firefox works
But in Chrome I get an error: "Failed - Network Error" down in the download tab. And I can't get to see what is the exact error... the network tab in dev extension is empty, nothing happens....

Maybe you have an idea or some advice what could I try?

[emilas44]

@barryvdh Hi, so I just wanted to say that I "solved" the problem.... I can't really say solved because there is something about Chrome that makes problem when you try to download a generated .pdf file when it's fetched with POST request.

So my solution was to send a GET request and then it shows the generated .pdf file and then I can download it.

Hi, I am having issues to download pdf file generated with png images, in chrome download dialog shows as .html instead of .pdf

I've been trying using images as base64 and its working the pdf file download in chrome but the images does not showing on pdf file downloaded. In Firefox Pdf Viewer there's no issues. Please tell how can I solve. Thanks.
