Yes it is duplicate question. But when I upload a PDF, it is displaying unreadable contents. – Karthik Sanu Oct 30 '18 at 06:49

Whenever you do a read as text, it applies a certain encoding (ASCII, Unicode etc) to the underlying binary 0/1 characters to do the reading. This is what causing the special characters. Hence you need to upload/download files as stream (not sure of AngularJS reference of how to do it). Please check this AngularJS: how to implement a simple file upload with multipart form?

My scenario is little different. I'm uploading a PDF and I'm not saving it anywhere. I'm just trying to read the content of uploaded PDF and saving the content in scope variable. – Karthik Sanu Oct 30 '18 at 07:43
