Web-share api level 2 PDF support

Question

I am using web-share level 2 for my PWA app. Every media format is working fine except PDF. Web api is returning base64 string of PDF, At client side, I am creating blob object from it. but when I share it, Throws exception : Permission Denied

 var file = new File(["/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQAAAQABAAD...."], 'filename.pdf', { type: 'application/pdf' });

var filesArray = [];

filesArray.push(file);

 navigator['share']({files: filesArray})
        .then(() => console.log('Share was successful.'))
        .catch((error) => console.log('Sharing failed', error));

I don't have any clue whats going on.
