I’ve got the solution. I used embed tag. My HTML code:

<embed width="900px" height="500px" name="plugin" src="/content/downloadPdf" type="application/pdf">

My java code

        response.setContentType("application/pdf");
        response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "private, max-age=5");

        response.setHeader("Pragma", "");
        if (file.length>0) {
            response.setContentLength(file.length);
        }
        ServletOutputStream ouputStream = response.getOutputStream();
        InputStream is = new ByteArrayInputStream(file);
        try {
            int b;
            while ((b = is.read()) != -1) {
                ouputStream.write(b);
            }
        } finally {
            ouputStream.flush();
            ouputStream.close();
            is.close();
        }
