I am using Angular 7 for front end application and CakePHP for backend. On click of a button, a pdf file should open in the new tab. When I am trying to open it, instead of opening pdf file(url:"http://localhost/api/report/1234.pdf"), it is throwing error message - "Missing controller". It seems browser is unable to detect pdf file
Please find the package.json file below
