I'm using window.open() to open the file, It works as expected in Chrome and Edge, but on IE instead of opening into a window the file just downloads.

Is this a default behavior or do we have to use a JQuery plugin to open window to print preview that open in modal window?

probably default browser setting. What happens when you open a pdf directly in IE? – charlietfl Dec 28 '17 at 18:47
It asks for open or save but doesn't open . But on IE 7/ 8 it opens totally confused – Jeff Dec 28 '17 at 18:49
Try [Jquery Print Js](https://gist.github.com/btd/2390721) – Sanal S Dec 28 '17 at 19:01
Would `window.print()` suffice? I would also recommend looking at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16239513/print-pdf-directly-from-javascript – random-forest-cat Dec 28 '17 at 19:31
