Preview of large file

Heyy guys

I'm uploading PDF files in my app which works perfectly

I got an issue when I try to preview a large pdf file before uploading it..

the browser crashes and it takes a lot of time to load the content..

the source contains base64 image

this is my code


                             
                            <div class="row" v-if="book.digital_link ">

                                <iframe :src="book.digital_link" class="mx-auto m-3" style="width:600px; height:500px;"
                                    frameborder="0">
                                </iframe>
                            </div>

how can I get through that?

Well, the obvious solution is loading fewer data. If the file is too big you can cut it in smaller peace and load part by part when scrolling or just show a message that the file is too big to preview. Browsers and iframes aren't made to load mega PDFs. You have other tools for that ;)
