I am creating PDF file in server side and on returning this on servlet request. I am retrieving this using jquery ajax call, but is is giving me parse error, what could be reason?

server side code

response.setHeader("Pragma", "no-cache");
response.setDateHeader("Expires", 0);
response.setContentType("application/pdf");
String fileName = "Vendormaster.pdf";
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment; filename=\"" + fileName  + "\"");
RandomAccessFile f = new RandomAccessFile("D:/PDF_1.pdf", "r");
byte[] pdfBytes= new byte[(int)f.length()];
f.read(pdfBytes);
ServletOutputStream out = response.getOutputStream();
response.setContentLength(pdfBytes.length);
out.write(pdfBytes);
out.flush();

Ajax call 

function GetData(url){  var dataObject=[];  $.ajax({

        url : url,
        type : "GET",
        async : false,
        dataType : 'json',
        contentType : "application/json",
        beforeSend:function(){ //           $("#ajaxloader").fadeIn();      },
        success : function(data, textStatus, jqXHR) {        dataObject= data; //        $("#ajaxloader").fadeOut(0);

        },
        error : function(data,b,c) {
            var error; //           $("#ajaxloader").fadeOut(0);
                return null;
        }

Header from Live Http headers

    because you return raw pdf file. It's not json format. – manassorn Aug 26 '14 at 03:48
  • No idea what you're trying to do with binary PDF data in your page, but the actual issue is similar to [this](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25297982/display-image-in-html-which-is-returned-as-a-mime-media-type-from-an-ajax-call/25299278#25299278). – Robby Cornelissen Aug 26 '14 at 03:53
  • 1. Change your contentType in ajax call to what you set in server [application/pdf] 2. Refer this SO post, it is almost duplicate http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2186562/post-to-server-receive-pdf-deliver-to-user-w-jquery – spiderman Aug 26 '14 at 04:04
