Any reply would be gladly appreciated.

Thanks allan. for the quick response,is it a bug i guess?
Hi allan i notice this http://cdn.rawgit.com/bpampuch/pdfmake/0.1.27/build/pdfmake.min.js has a weird chracters on it, see this screenshot http://prntscr.com/fbs27z maybe thats the issue, what do you think?
Btw. i tested it using chrome and tested it also on firefox same weird characterd showing.
I have found the culprit, after searching some forums i have read that many users are experiencing this too because of an adblocker, i disabled mine and it works.
My thought is, this pdf pop-up shouldn't be treated as ad.
Now the only thing bugging me, is there a way i can let the pdf open in new window without disabling the adblocker?
That's the UTF8 information that needs to be embedded into the PDF to make it work - those characters shouldn't cause any issues.
Ah! Which blocker are you using? I've got uBlock Origin installed and was seeing the same thing.
I suspect this might be a question we have to pose to the adblocker community.

Mine was Adblock extension installed in google chrome.
Thanks, allan.
