SOLVED

The error is from the submit operation trying to interpret the response which it can not because it is not in a known format.

I just set window.location to download files and this works fine.

{
xtype:'button',           
text: 'Generate PDF',           
handler: function () {
     window.location = '/AddData.ashx?action=pdf';                   
}
}

Instead of setting the location you can also do window.open().

Whether the file will be downloaded or opened depends on browser settings.
