Binary data in String representation to PDF file

So I'm receiving a response from a service which is a byte array representation of pdf file in String like below:

response.pdfStream = "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. " 
I need to convert this to absolute byte array and then create pdf file with it to open. Tried this:
byte[] pdfStream = response.pdfStream.getBytes(Charsets.UTF_8); InputStream inputStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(pdfStream); File file = null; try < file = new File(Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS), filename); Logger.debug("createFile: "+file.getAbsolutePath()); OutputStream outputStream = new FileOutputStream(file); IOUtils.copy(inputStream, outputStream); outputStream.close(); >catch (Exception e) < e.printStackTrace(); >return file; try < Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW); intent.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(file), "application/pdf"); getMainActivity().startActivity(intent); >catch (Exception e)
