Hey Simon, I'm having trouble with PDFMake, it works fine on the web but when I run it on my Android device the PDF doesn't open... Any ideas of what might be happening?

I was having trouble to print in a cordova device, after looking in the ionic forum, I found this:
if (this.plt.is('cordova')){
=> {
var utf8 = new Uint8Array(buffer);
var binaryArray = utf8.buffer;
var blob = new Blob([binaryArray], { type: 'application/pdf'});

this.file.writeFile(this.file.dataDirectory, 'myletter.pdf', blob, { replace: true}).then(fileEntry => {
+ 'myletter.pdf', 'application/pdf');
})
});
}else {
this.pdfObj.download();
}
So I could print in my device.

Would you recommend PDFMake for converting client-side images (phone captures) to create a B&W PDF suitable for faxing? Iconic framework.
