PDF loads after password validation - Quality_k1nG - Mar 23, 2020

Hey guys,

I need your help

I wanted to lock my pdf behind the php password locker kind of thing,

Actually I am using pdf.js (library) to load the pdf into the browser (with the help of youtube tutorials) and its successfully loading but I need to put the password locker

I tried it but its not working
Can anyone please help?


thanks

You could simply use a .htaccess & .htpasswd

If you're just loading the PDF, you could cut the pdf.js library out completely. Most browsers have native means to displaying the PDF (Usually through the built in pdf.js library).

Regardless, what methods have you tried? It's not that complicated to create a auth mechanism with PHP.
