Instead of returning a File, try returning a FileStreamResult

public ActionResult GetPdf(string fileName)
{
    var fileStream = new FileStream("~/Content/files/" + fileName, 
                                     FileMode.Open,
                                     FileAccess.Read
                                   );
    var fsResult = new FileStreamResult(fileStream, "application/pdf");
    return fsResult;
}
