[英]How to convert Base64 string to pdf file using prawn gem
I want to generate pdf
file from DB record. 我想从DB记录生成
pdf
文件。 Encode it to Base64
string and store it to DB. 将其编码为
Base64
字符串并将其存储到DB。 Which works fine. 哪个工作正常。 Now I want reverse action, How can I decode
Base64
string and generate pdf
file again? 现在我想要反向操作,如何解码
Base64
字符串并再次生成pdf
文件?
here is what I tried so far. 这是我到目前为止所尝试的。
def data_pdf_base64
begin
# Create Prawn Object
my_pdf = Prawn::Document.new
# write text to pdf
my_pdf.text("Hello Gagan, How are you?")
# Save at tmp folder as pdf file
my_pdf.render_file("#{Rails.root}/tmp/pdf/gagan.pdf")
# Read pdf file and encode to Base64
encoded_string = Base64.encode64(File.open("#{Rails.root}/tmp/pdf/gagan.pdf"){|i| i.read})
# Delete generated pdf file from tmp folder
File.delete("#{Rails.root}/tmp/pdf/gagan.pdf") if File.exist?("#{Rails.root}/tmp/pdf/gagan.pdf")
# Now converting Base64 to pdf again
pdf = Prawn::Document.new
# I have used ttf font because it was giving me below error
# Your document includes text that's not compatible with the Windows-1252 character set. If you need full UTF-8 support, use TTF fonts instead of PDF's built-in fonts.
pdf.font Rails.root.join("app/assets/fonts/fontawesome-webfont.ttf")
pdf.text Base64.decode64 encoded_string
pdf.render_file("#{Rails.root}/tmp/pdf/gagan2.pdf")
rescue => e
return render :text => "Error: #{e}"
end
end
Now I am getting below error: 现在我得到以下错误:
Encoding ASCII-8BIT can not be transparently converted to UTF-8.
编码ASCII-8BIT无法透明地转换为UTF-8。 Please ensure the encoding of the string you are attempting to use is set correctly
请确保正确设置您尝试使用的字符串的编码
I have tried How to convert base64 string to PNG using Prawn without saving on server in Rails but it gives me error: 我试过如何使用Prawn将base64字符串转换为PNG而不保存在Rails中的服务器上,但它给了我错误:
"\\xFF" from ASCII-8BIT to UTF-8
“\\ xFF”从ASCII-8BIT到UTF-8
Can anyone point me what I am missing? 任何人都可以指出我错过了什么吗?
The answer is to decode the Base64 encoded string and either send it directly or save it directly to disk (naming it as a PDF file, but without using prawn). 答案是解码Base64编码的字符串,直接发送或直接保存到磁盘(将其命名为PDF文件,但不使用prawn)。
The decoded string is a binary representation of the PDF file data, so there's no need to use Prawn or to re-calculate the content of the PDF data. 解码后的字符串是PDF文件数据的二进制表示,因此无需使用Prawn或重新计算PDF数据的内容。
ie 即
raw_pdf_str = Base64.decode64 encoded_string
render :text, raw_pdf_str # <= this isn't the correct rendering pattern, but it's good enough as an example.
EDIT 编辑
To clarify some of the information given in the comments: 澄清评论中提供的一些信息:
It's possible to send the string as an attachment without saving it to disk, either using render text: raw_pdf_str
or the #send_data
method (these are 4.x API versions, I don't remember the 5.x API style). 可以将字符串作为附件发送而不将其保存到磁盘,使用
render text: raw_pdf_str
或#send_data
方法 (这些是4.x API版本,我不记得5.x API样式)。
It's possible to encode the string (from the Prawn object) without saving the rendered PDF data to a file (save it to a String object instead). 可以对字符串进行编码(来自Prawn对象)而不将渲染的PDF数据保存到文件中(而是将其保存为String对象)。 ie:
即:
encoded_string = Base64.encode64(my_pdf.render)
The String data could be used directly as an email attachment, similarly to the pattern provided here only using the String directly instead of reading any data from a file. String数据可以直接用作电子邮件附件,类似于此处提供的模式,只使用String直接而不是从文件中读取任何数据。 ie:
即:
# inside a method in the Mailer class attachments['my_pdf.pdf'] = { :mime_type => 'application/pdf', :content => raw_pdf_str }
