How to read memory stream of a pdf and open it

Node Version: 5.7.1 Platform: 64-bit (Windows)

Hi, I am a newbie in working with node. I have built an app in electron (which uses node internally) which communicates with a .net restful service to fetch data from db and display it on the screen. One of the data has a pdf path on the server which i read onto the server and convert it into the memory stream and send it to the client app.

The issue how can i read this memory stream in node js and open the pdf file on my windows machine through adobe acrobat reader which is installed on my windows machine? Here is a sample code which i already tried :

var optionsGetPDF= {
           host: 'localhost',
           port: 8080,
           path: '/GetPDFDoc?docid=' + docid,
           method: 'GET'
};

var memStream = new memorystream(null, { readable: false });
http.request(optionsGetPDF, function (res) {
     res.pipe(memStream);
     res.on('end', function () {
          alert(memStream.toString().length)
     });
}).end();

Any help is much appreciated. Thanks and Regards Shobhit

These kinds of questions are better suited for the node.js help repo. This issue tracker is for reporting bugs in node itself, requesting new features, etc.
