How to load a basedPdf from a url?

[juliomuhlbauer]

The docs say: "basePdf can be given a string(base64), ArrayBuffer, or Uint8Array."

Could I convert a url of a PDF to one of these on demand?

Please fetch and convert.
like bellow.

const blob2Base64 = (blob: Blob) => {
  return new Promise<string>((resolve, reject) => {
    if (typeof window !== "undefined") {
      const reader = new FileReader();
      reader.onloadend = () => {
        resolve(reader.result as string);
      };
      reader.readAsDataURL(blob);
    } else {
      blob.arrayBuffer().then((buffer) => {
        resolve(buffer.toString() as string);
      });
    }
  });
};

const base64PDF = await fetch('URL').then((res) =>res.blob()).then(blob2Base64);

Thanks! I managed to do that but your implementation is better.

I think this could be in the docs
