The issue was:
- I needed data:application/pdf;base64, in front of the string
- I did not have a component inside of my component. See https://github.com/wojtekmaj/react-pdf/issues/203

You can use embed and it's fairly succinct.
return <embed src={`data:application/pdf;base64,${base64ContentString}`} type="application/pdf" width="100%"></embed>

I've been looking on how to do this as well, and found a way thanks to this entry: Creating a Blob from a base64 string in JavaScript the way to set the pdf file is something like this:
const byteCharacters = atob(response);
const byteNumbers = new Array(byteCharacters.length);
for (let i = 0; i < byteCharacters.length; i++) {
byteNumbers[i] = byteCharacters.charCodeAt(i);
}
const byteArray = new Uint8Array(byteNumbers);
this.state.pdf = new Blob([byteArray], {type: 'application/pdf'});
The document looks like this:
<Document file={this.state.pdf} > ...
Not sure if I am using state correctly here, I was using state hooks in my code.But using the blob should work.
