Answer 1

If you had something like this:

var myPdfUrl = 'something'
$http.get(myPdfUrl);

Do this instead:

var myPdfUrl = 'something'  
$window.open(myPdfUrl);

If instead you have something like this:

$http
    .get(generatePdfUrl)
    .then(function(data){
        //data is link to pdf
    });     

Do this:

$http
    .get(generatePdfUrl)
    .then(function(data){
        //data is link to pdf
        $window.open(data);
    });         

Answer 2

Maybe this can help,in the case of you have something like this :

$http.get('generatePdfUrl')
  .then(function (data) {     // data is your url
      var file = new Blob([data], {type: 'application/pdf'});
      var fileURL = URL.createObjectURL(file);
  });

Then use your service in controller and do

$window.open(fileURL);
