I have a Firefox component for PDF signing that I invoke via Javascript. The problem is that this component outputs the signed PDF as a file on the user’s filesystem – there is no way to get a byte[], stream or similar.
I need to post this signed PDF file back to the server. Is it possible to do this in plain Javascript, without additional Firefox components?
You can’t do this without user intervention, this would he a huge security hole. Think about visiting a webpage and it being able to grab and upload any of your files without you doing a thing…you can see how this would be abused really fast.
You might be able to do this with a Firefox extension, I’m not sure of the security limitations it imposes (though I wouldn’t be surprised if it disallowed this as well), but JavaScript would not be an option here.
