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.

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.

Microservice Spring with Apache Kafka Today, I want to share how to use Kafka. It's quite interesting once you get the hang of it, and I hope my explanation will make it a bit easier for you. So, Kafka is primarily known as an asynchronous messaging queuing system. This means it allows different parts of your application to communicate with each other without waiting for immediate responses. However, there are times when you might need a more immediate reply from another service in your project. Luckily, Kafka can handle this too. Here’s how it works: The client side sends a message to the server side via Kafka. This message includes a special identifier in the Kafka header request, known as KafkaHeaders.CORRELATION_ID, along with a topic where the server should respond. The server, after processing the request, sends a message back to the same topic with the same correlation ID. This way, the client knows that the message is a response to its initial request and can act accordingl...
