You need to create UploadRestController that will receive pdf content.You can follow below link to develop your UploadRestController.

Spring : File Upload RESTFUL Web Service

Your UploadRestController will save file somewhere in file system and its file path/other stuff matadata in DB or Cache.
Develop another DownloadRestController that will give you PDF whenever requested.It will read file from file system using metadata and will set response.You can follow below link to develop DownloadRestController.
