How to read MemoryStream of a PDF and open it

[hishobhit82]

Hi,

I am a newbie in working with electron. I have built an app which communicates with a .Net REST service to fetch some data and display it on the screen. One of the data includes a PDF file which resides on a remote server which is read by the REST service and sent to the app as a MemoryStream.

How can i read the PDF from this memory stream and open the same in the Adobe Acrobat Reader which is installed on my windows 7 machine ? Please find below a sample code -

var optionsGetPDF = {
        host: 'localhost',
        port: 8080,
        path: '/GetPDFdoc?docid=' + docid,
        method: 'GET'
};

http.request(optionsGetPDF, function (res) {
    res.pipe(memStream);
    res.on('end', function () {
         alert(memStream.toString().length)
    })
}).end();

Any help is very much appreciated !!

Regards
