To do it from a Base64 encoding you can use the following function  function base64ToArrayBuffer data      const bString   window atob data     const bLength   bString length    const bytes   new Uint8Array bLength     for  let i   0  i  lt  bLength  i            bytes i    bString charCodeAt i         return bytes    function base64toPDF base64EncodedData  fileName    file       const bufferArray   base64ToArrayBuffer base64EncodedData     const blobStore   new Blob  bufferArray     type   application pdf        if  window navigator  amp  amp  window navigator msSaveOrOpenBlob          window navigator msSaveOrOpenBlob blobStore         return        const data   window URL createObjectURL blobStore     const link   document createElement  a      document body appendChild link     link href   data    link download      fileName  pdf     link click      window URL revokeObjectURL data     link remove

I m going to take a chance here and actually advise against this  I suspect that people wanting to view your PDFs will already have their viewers set up the way they want  and will not take kindly to you taking that choice away from them  -   Why not just stream down the content with the correct content specifier   That way  newbies will get whatever their browser developer has a a useful default  and those of us that know how to configure such things will see it as we want to
