Get PDF files from Worklight Server to the client

Question

Based on the following reference:- Worklight Adapter getting pdf file from rest service, i got the PDF file from tomcat server through the worklight adapter. The server side code is:-

var input = {
method : 'get',
returnedContentType : 'plain',
path : '/PDF/example-abstract.pdf'
};  
return WL.Server.invokeHttp(input);

When i invoke the invoke the procedure i am able to successfully retrieve the result. When i invoke the same procedure from client side like below:-

var invocationData = {
        adapter: 'PdfReader',
        procedure: 'readPDF',
        parameters: []
};

I am unable to receive the response in the success handler. In logcat it showing the following error:-

I need to know, how to make it reachable in the successHandler. Thanks in advance.

The problem is with parsing the JSON data, based on the following answer, I have converted the Json data to string using JSON.stringify(), so that the string can successfully reach the successHandler inside the handler i am using JSON.parse() to convert the string to JSON for use.
