Chrome has “Failed to load PDF document” error message on inline PDFs

Question

I have a problem with reading pdf file in Chrome by using PHP.

The following code is how I do in PHP

$path = \"actually file path\";
header(\"Pragma:         


        

Answer 1

I had similar issue but I noticed the order matters. Seems that ; filename= must have quotes around it, Content-Disposition: attachment Try this:

    $file = "/files/test.pdf";
    $finfo = finfo_open(FILEINFO_MIME_TYPE); // return mime type ala mimetype extension
    $mime = finfo_file($finfo, $file);

    header('Pragma: public');
    header('Expires: 0');
    header('Content-Type: $mime');
    header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
    header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.basename($file).'"'));
    header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
    header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0');
    header('Content-Length' . filesize($file));
    ob_clean();
    flush();
    readfile($file);
