First of all, note that Base64 encoding is very inefficient; please find more information about converting/opening such data in https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/wiki/Frequently-Asked-Questions#file.

Secondly, please refer to https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/wiki/Frequently-Asked-Questions#faq-xhr regarding the error message (which contains a reference to PR #6916).

Closing as answered.
