How to Embed PDF in HTML Using PDFObject

How to embed PDF with Javascript

Sometimes you have a PDF file that you need to display it to public, in modern browser like Google Chrome of course it have their default PDF reader, if you have a file contains PDF extension they will open it using PDF reader. But that reader is a full screen reader, meaning you can not put any of your HTML contents to display it side by side.

To just embed a PDF inside your HTML, you can do accomplished it by using PDFObject, you can see on this official website https://pdfobject.com/.

1. Create a container to hold your PDF

<div id="example1" style="height: 80vh; width: 80vw;"></div>

2. Tell PDFObject which PDF to embed, and where to embed it

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/pdfobject/2.1.1/pdfobject.min.js"></script>
<script>PDFObject.embed("http://localhost/your-pdf.pdf", "#example1");</script>

Change the http://localhost/your-pdf.pdf with the location of your PDF file that you want to show

3. You can optionally use CSS to change the appearance of the containing element, such as height, width, border, margins, etc.

<style>
.pdfobject-container { height: 30rem; border: 1rem solid rgba(0,0,0,.1); }
</style>

Basically it is just embedding browser PDF reader, so there's not gonna be many thing you can do, probably only the size of the embedded container like as you can see on the above step number 1. I am using style to give the container with 80% of browser window and 80% of it's height. Other than styling using CSS on the container, i am hopeless that there's much more you can do about this library.

But for more detail information, for additional customization, you can go to the PDF Object website with the link i mentioned above and read their full documentation.

Spring Kafka - how to use ReplyingKafkaTemplate send and reply synchronously

Microservice Spring with Apache Kafka Kafka is an asynchronous messaging queuing system, but when you have a case in your project that you need to have the result immediately from another service you can do that quite easily. Kafka from the client side produces a message to the server side, then waiting for the server to return back the message exactly what the client wants. It’s identified in the kafka header request named KafkaHeaders.CORRELATION_ID and a topic where the server should send. If the server side produces the same correlation id to the same topic in the request, then the client side will catch that message as its reply. Although you can work with kafka from a different framework and language other than Java and Spring. Here’s in this example i just specifically giving the example of sending and replying kafka messages using Spring Boot. The Project Overview The client-project will send a string message to the server-project over kafka, then the server-project wil

Usually you will need a pair of SSH username and password to connect to a remote server. But there's also another way to connect to the server via SSH but without password, just using a dot pem (example.pem) file. Here's how we usually do on Windows 1. Let’s SSH login using pem to confirm if it’s throwing error or the pem is fine, if error then we need to move to step 2 to fix it: ssh adam@10.0.0.123  -i server-cert.pem And here's the usual error that will throw if your pem file is not ready for SSH login. You need to follow the next step to make your pem certificate ready to login to your server via SSH. 2. Open Windows Explorer, then right-click on the pem file, then select "Properties". Navigate to the "Security" tab, and click "Advanced" 3. Disable inheritance 4. Delete all permissions, so it doesn’t have any permission 5. Now add you as the only only owner.

MySQL and MariaDB password As already mentioned in the title of this blog, this error message sometimes occurred when we are trying to update our root password database, either MySQL or MariaDB, The error says: ERROR 1348 (HY000): Column 'Password' is not updatable This is because if we use this SQL command to update our database root password, and it turn out to be Restricted by MySQL to use update on mysql database. UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('1234') WHERE User='root'; The solutions for MySQL Error1348 So you can not update a user password using Update commands, to update the password, use ALTER commands instead. like the following. ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '1234'; And then you need to do the flush privileges to commit previous queries (that alter command above) into the system, simply do like this. flush privileges; So now you have your root with password 1234.

Reactive Spring Logo This is maybe a very simple task, but for those of you that may not be familiar with WebFlux found it difficult to create a Rest API that handles upload and download in Reactive spring application. Create the skeleton Spring project Create a new project, go to start.spring.io , on the dependencies section, add Spring Reactive Web. Generate and extract it into your desired project location. Instead of using spring-boot-starter-web, use spring-boot-starter-webflux instead in your pom.xml. Here’s the pom.xml for our Reactive Rest API project. Create our Rest controller Now that you have set to use WebFlux instead of the usual web, we have to change a little bit in the Controller class that handles the API endpoints. It doesn’t change much but you have to wrap the Response in Mono and the request parameter to FilePart. So our upload and download file controller will look like this. Create utility to handle file upload We need to structure our project better, so we cr
