You would need to pass the responseType in your service call

$http.post('/Service-URL', dataTO, {responseType: 'arraybuffer'});

then in the success of your data call this should open up pdf in a new window:-

    getDocument()
        .success(function(data) {
            var file = new Blob([data], { type: 'application/pdf' });
            var fileURL = URL.createObjectURL(file);
            window.open(fileURL);
    })

From this answer :- https://stackoverflow.com/a/21730535/3645957 by https://stackoverflow.com/users/2688545/michael

The string from the response seem to be Base-64 encoded (ref. fiddle). You can decode it using fetch() (or XMLHttpRequest() for older browsers):

fetch("data:application/pdf;base64," + response.data)
  .then(function(resp) {return resp.blob()})
  .then(function(blob) {
    FileSaver.saveAs(blob, 'foo.pdf')
  });

Found the solution here it is, i was sending byte array from spring controller which is in the form like %PDF-1 %����. So i send base64 encoded string from spring controller and send the base64 encoded string to browser and it works.

javascript code :

var arrrayBuffer = base64ToArrayBuffer(data); //data is the base64 encoded string
function base64ToArrayBuffer(base64) {
    var binaryString = window.atob(base64);
    var binaryLen = binaryString.length;
    var bytes = new Uint8Array(binaryLen);
    for (var i = 0; i < binaryLen; i++) {
        var ascii = binaryString.charCodeAt(i);
        bytes[i] = ascii;
    }
    return bytes;
}
var blob = new Blob([arrrayBuffer], {type: "application/pdf"});
var link = window.URL.createObjectURL(blob);
window.open(link,'', 'height=650,width=840');

convert byte array to base64 encoded string in spring controller

String encodedString = Base64.getEncoder().encodeToString(bytearrayofpdf);

In modern browsers, you can use a Blob to create an object URL which can then be used instead of a base64 URL (which has some limitations in different browsers, like length limits).

Here's a working example that does that. This sample displays the PDF inside an iframe, but you can really do whatever you want with that objectURL like open it in a new tab or whatever.

var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.responseType = 'arraybuffer';
xhr.onload = function() {
    // Create the Blob URL:
    var buffer = xhr.response;
    var blob = new Blob([buffer], {
        type: 'application/pdf'
    });
    var objectURL = URL.createObjectURL(blob);

    // Create an iframe to demonstrate it:
    var iframe = document.createElement('iframe');
    iframe.className = 'sample-iframe';
    iframe.src = objectURL;
    document.body.appendChild(iframe);
    console.log(objectURL);
};
xhr.open('GET', 'https://gist.githubusercontent.com/AlexanderOMara/4cd0ae77a3027a8363eecb5929b30ee3/raw/900734831709f3cb94718649ca8f7f9715adeb78/hello-world.pdf', true);
xhr.send();

html, body {
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
}  
.sample-iframe {
  width: 90%;
  height: 90%;
}

Of course, the browser's built-in print function for the PDF will work also.

You still need pdf.worker.js even if you have disabled it. Disabling it means that PDFJS will use faked workers for which it is also using the worker library. Just set it in the following way:

PDFJS.workerSrc = 'pdf.worker.js';

I asked the question long time ago, so I might be wrong in some details.

It turns out that Blob needs array buffers. That's why base64 bytes need to be converted to array buffers first.

Here is the function to do that:

function base64ToArrayBuffer(base64) {
    var binaryString = window.atob(base64);
    var binaryLen = binaryString.length;
    var bytes = new Uint8Array(binaryLen);
    for (var i = 0; i < binaryLen; i++) {
       var ascii = binaryString.charCodeAt(i);
       bytes[i] = ascii;
    }
    return bytes;
 }

Here is my function to save a pdf file:

function saveByteArray(reportName, byte) {
    var blob = new Blob([byte], {type: "application/pdf"});
    var link = document.createElement('a');
    link.href = window.URL.createObjectURL(blob);
    var fileName = reportName;
    link.download = fileName;
    link.click();
};

Here is how to use these two functions together:

var sampleArr = base64ToArrayBuffer(data);
saveByteArray("Sample Report", sampleArr);
