How should i read a pdf that is in base64 format?

[JosephKorel]

Hi, Im uploading a PDF file and sending it in base64 format. Then i decode it as
const file = Buffer.from(pdfBase64, 'base64');
And read it

      const entriesPromise = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
        pdfReader.parseBuffer(file, (err, item) => {
          if (err) reject(err);
          else if (!item) resolve(entries);
          else if (item.text) entries.push(item.text);
        });
      });

      await entriesPromise;```
      
      But Im getting this error
      `Error: Error: Invalid XRef stream header`

Can you share the PDF file + the code that load the file and decodes it please, so we can reproduce.

I handled it passing it in another format! Thanks for your quick response
