title: Display embedded PDF in Internet Explorer 11 from binary string or base64
body: <p>There is a 3rd party service which sends me a PDF file in either binary string or base64 encoded. Is there any possibility to display the PDF embedded in IE 11 using either binary string or base64 encoded.</p>
  
  <p>From SO and other forums, I concluded that IE 11 supports data uri only for images and not PDF (I might be wrong) which rules out base64. So the only option left is to display from binary string. I am using it in a Node App but I do not have the option to first save the retrieved file to Node server and use static URL.</p>
  
  <p>Please let me know if above is achievable in IE 11.</p>
  
  <p>Currently I'm trying to use npm package of <a href="https://github.com/pipwerks/PDFObject" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/pipwerks/PDFObject</a>. For Chrome &amp; Firefox, I retrieve the base64 file and embed it using the above package and works fine.</p>
