Display PDF document in Pega
On click document Link, Pega need to connect to external system to get the document and display in PDF format.
Note: The document is a very complex one and we used Connect-Rest Method to get the file response from external system.
is there any Java code or HTML code which in turn read the binary document source code. Later we can convert it PDF document by using the Pega OOTB HTML-PDF activity and display it in the browser.

See also the OOTB Activity 'Code-Pega-PDF.View' - this demonstrates how to stream back PDF bytes (which I believe you already have?) back to the browser to trigger a download of a named PDF.
Here's the Java code from that OOTB Activity for convenience:
//Get the byte array from the parameter page
byte[] byteArray=(byte[])tools.getParameterPage().getParameterValue("PDFDocument");
//Get the pdf name from the parameter page
String pdfName=tools.getParamValue("PDFName");
//Send the PDF File back to the user.
String result=tools.sendFile(byteArray,pdfName,false,null,true);
