We have a web service running that streams PDF content. On iOS, launching it directly via window.open() works fine, and the PDF is rendered in browser. On Android, however, the same method triggers a download to the device. Is there any way around this? What other options are available for displaying streamed PDF?

Hello ,
It is expected for the file to be downloaded if you are using the _system target for Android devices. This is so, as Android WebView does not have built-in PDF viewer. Thus, you could try using the InAppBrowser functionality instead, by passing _blank as a target. I hope this helps.
Further, please let me know if the above is not the case and I will try to assist you further.
