Open pdf from server path in Symfony3

Question

I would like to open the pdf file in the window browser but I have "The file "\\servername\20\2016080.pdf" does not exist" If I copy this path in a browser, it's work.

Edit: I have found in the logs

CRITICAL - Uncaught PHP Exception Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\File\Exception\FileNotFoundException: "The file "\\servername\20\2016080.pdf" does not exist" at C:\wamp64\www\his\vendor\symfony\symfony\src\Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\File\File.php line 37

Thank you.

$response = new BinaryFileResponse($result = $ServerModel->getDocument($request-> get('id'));
$response->headers->set('Content-Type', 'application/pdf');
return $response;

If you're using symfony 3.2 or later (which you should be), you can use the new file helper to serve binary files.

from the symfony docs

$pdfPath = $this->getParameter('dir.downloads').'/sample.pdf';

return $this->file($pdfPath);

how you go about getting the path of the file may differ depending on your implementation. But if its a straight SplFileInfo:: object php docs then you can just use:

$file->getPathname();

The file helper will automagically do much of heavy lifting for you.

Make sure the file is accessible, either by a route or by an un-firewalled path.

your path is not accessible by the looks of it. Whats the actual path of the file?

I don't have access to the server but I have access to the network share.

/**
* @Route("/show-pdf", name="show-pdf")
*/
public function showPdf(Request $request) {

    ini_set('display_errors', 'On');

    $pdf = file_get_contents('path/to/file.pdf');

    return new Response($pdf, 200, [
                'Content-Type' => 'application/pdf',
                'Content-Disposition' => 'inline; filename="file.pdf"'
    ]);

}
