If you are using download manager try disabling it.

Make sure you read https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/blob/master/.github/CONTRIBUTING.md to know what you must provide before opening an issue. At the very least a link to a working example (if it is a custom solution) is required for us to debug the issue. Closing until this is provided.

Was about to post the same issue with the v2.0.943 (build: dc98bf76) and read the comment of @ravibpatel and finally it solved.
To solve this issue one should disable download manager or refrain them from capturing download links from web players . In my case i was using IDM and it was causing pdf interception and thus the error.
