            {
                //success(data);
                console.log(data);
                if(success){

Just add '_self' as a second parameter to window.open().

window.open(getApplicationRoot() + '/api/dossier/report/pdfReport?reportId=' + reportid, '_self');

I used this jQuery plugin from Filament Group to do something similar: https://github.com/filamentgroup/jQuery-File-Download

Instead of using window.open(...) you can use an iframe or the window.location:

// iframe
var ifrm = document.getElementById(frame);
ifrm.src = getApplicationRoot() + '/api/dossier/report/pdfReport?reportId='+reportid;

// in the same window
window.location=getApplicationRoot() + '/api/dossier/report/pdfReport?reportId='+reportid;
