MVC core open new window on button click

Hi All,
Am using MVC core. My controller has 3 action methods. One of the action method is opening pdf file in same page. I would like to open the pdf in new window. The below method opens new window but showing the error Bad Request - Invalid URL

<td align='right'>
<button id="PrintCmd" value="Print" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-print"></span> Print
</button>
</td></tr>

$(document).ready(function () {

$("#PrintCmd").click(function () {

alert('test');
var actionUrl = '<%= Url.Action("PDFForm", "PDFController" )%>';
window.open(actionUrl);

});
});

Kind regards,
Pooja
