In Octet-stream you will be receiving the response as "Encoded Binary Data"
As you said, your need to convert the response data into "Decoded Base64 String"
And finally save it as PDF. You may want to check base64toPdf npm package, either to use it or to check how it handles everything.

You are in the right path, it should be some nuance that stops you from completing this, best wishes! 😁
