i am trying to make a component that take a pdf from input or an already uploaded one and then extract pages from it and uploaded again
when choosing a file from input (choosing file from my computer)
i am using this
const handleFileChange = async (event) => {
const file = event.target.files[0];
setFiles(event.target.files[0])
const fileName = event.target.files[0].name
setFileName(fileName);
const fileReader = new FileReader();
fileReader.onload = async () => {
const pdfBytes = new Uint8Array(fileReader.result);
const pdfDoc = await PDFDocument.load(pdfBytes);
setPdfDoc(pdfDoc);
setPdfBlob(pdfBytes)
};
fileReader.readAsArrayBuffer(file);
setShowPdf(true)
};
we get a pdfDoc and a Unit8Array
then i use the pdfDoc to get pages and extract a new pdf file….
this works fine
now when selecting a file that we already uploaded
i use this to ping the api to get the file
const handleGetFile = async (url) => {
const headers = {
Authorization: "Bearer " + (localStorage.getItem("token")),
Accept: 'application/pdf'
}
await axios.put(`${process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL}getPdfFileBlob`, {
pdfUrl: `https://handle-pdf-photos-project-through-compleated-task.s3.amazonaws.com/${url}`
}, { responseType: 'arraybuffer', headers }).then((res) => {
const handlePdf = async () => {
const uint8Array = new Uint8Array(res.data);
const pdfBlob = new Blob([uint8Array], { type: 'application/pdf' });
setPdfBlob(uint8Array)
// setPdfDoc(pdfBlob) .....? how do i create a pdf doc from the unit8array
}
handlePdf()
}).catch((err) => {
console.log(err)
})
}
this the the end point i am pinging
app.put('/getPdfFileBlob',async function(req,res){
try {
console.log(req.body.pdfUrl)
const url =req.body.pdfUrl;
const fileName = 'file.pdf';
const file = fs.createWriteStream(fileName);
https.get(url, (response) => {
response.pipe(file);
file.on('finish', () => {
file.close();
// Serve the file as a response
const pdf = fs.readFileSync(fileName);
res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'application/pdf');
res.setHeader( 'Content-Transfer-Encoding', 'Binary'
);
res.setHeader('Content-Disposition', 'inline; filename="' + fileName + '"');
res.send(pdf);
});
});
} catch (error) {
res.status(500).json({success:false,msg:"server side err"})
}
})
after getting this file here is what am trying to do
const handlePageSelection = (index) => {
setSelectedPages(prevSelectedPages => {
const newSelectedPages = [...prevSelectedPages];
const pageIndex = newSelectedPages.indexOf(index);
if (pageIndex === -1) {
newSelectedPages.push(index);
} else {
newSelectedPages.splice(pageIndex, 1);
}
return newSelectedPages;
});
};
const handleExtractPages = async () => {
for (let i = pdfDoc.getPageCount() - 1; i >= 0; i -= 1) {
if (!selectedPages.includes(i + 1)) {
pdfDoc.removePage(i);
}
}
await pdfDoc.save();
};
well in the first case where i upload the pdf file from local storage i get a pdfDoc
console of pdf Doc and pdfBlob
and when i select already existing file i can’t find a way to transfer unit8array buffer to pdf doc
log of pdfBlob and no pdf doc
what i want is transform the pdfblob to pdfDcoument or get the pdf document from the array buffer so i can use getpages on it
