title: IE wont render PDF blobs
body: <p>okay so I have a webpage that is generating a PDF.  The code to create the PDF so far is rock solid - however I'm having troubles with displaying the created PDF.</p>
  
  <p>I have gotten the display code rock solid in Chrome - however I can't get IE to work AT ALL.  I need a way to generate the PDF in Javascript and display it using IE.</p>
  
  <p>The key issue here is that I'm generating the PDF on the client side - which means that there is no server-side URL to load the PDF from.  This requires me to use blobs or dataurls and IE will not render either of those for some odd reason.  From what I read this is by design, but they offer no work-around that I can find</p>
  
  <p>The project requires that the PDF be loaded in the background and merely pop up the print dialog once displayed (I cannot simply save the file to the client's computer).  The data being printed is also very specifically positioned for the forms that they are printed on, which means I cannot render the PDF into a canvas and merely print the canvas element as that places an extra margin on the page with the URL and page number.</p>

  <p>Here are my questions:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>Is there any kind of workaround to this issue for IE?  I've used PdfObject in the past however it's still go the same issue with blobs and dataurls in IE</p></li>
  <li><p>The backend for this website is classic ASP (it's being redone in .Net but that will not be available until next around this time at the earliest) - is it possible to upload the binary data of the blob to an ASP page, store it in session, and then direct an iframe to a page that returns the contents of that session variable?  This would circumvent the blob, but I fear it's a little ambitious of a task...</p></li>
