You can use file-transfer cordova plugin.

https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-file-transfer

var fileTransfer = new FileTransfer();
var uri = encodeURI("http://www.premah.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/apr-2014-gen-f.pdf");

fileTransfer.download(
uri,
filePath,
function(entry) {
    console.log("download complete: " + entry.fullPath);
},
function(error) {
    console.log("download error source " + error.source);
    console.log("download error target " + error.target);
    console.log("upload error code" + error.code);
},
false,
{
    headers: {
        "Authorization": "Basic dGVzdHVzZXJuYW1lOnRlc3RwYXNzd29yZA=="
    }
}

);

source = http://www.premah.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/apr-2014-gen-f.pdf

fpath = YOUR_FILE_PATH; //use filesystem to get file path.

 downloadBook: function(source, fpath)
 {
     var fileTransfer = new FileTransfer();
         fileTransfer.download(source,fpath,function(entry) {
     },
     function(error) {
         console.log("download error target " + error.code);
     });
 }
