I have the DropZone page where I drag and drop a pdf which is saved in a postgre db with sequelize. I have a compenent where I want to transform that pdf saved as a BLOB back to pdf and then download that pdf localy.
`const onDrop = useCallback((acceptedFiles) => {
let pdf = acceptedFiles[0];
if (pdf.type !== "application/pdf") {
setShowAlert(true);
setTimeout(() => {
setShowAlert(false);
}, 3000);
return;
}
let reader = new FileReader();
reader.readAsArrayBuffer(pdf);
let pdfTransformat = new Blob([pdf], { type: pdf.type });
reader.onload = async function () {
let user = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem("user"));
const cerereInfo = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem("cerereInfo"));
let arrayBuffer = pdfTransformat.arrayBuffer(); //this is the variable that I am sending to be saved in the db
const pdfBlob = new Blob([cerere.pdf], {
type: "application/pdf",
});
saveAs(pdfBlob, "cerere");`
This is the code when I am transforming the BLOB saved in the db back to PDF and I try to dowload it. The problem is that the downloaded PDF is corrupted What do I need to change? Is the way that I save the pdf to db wrong or is it how I transform it back to pdf to download it?
