Open PDF in new Tab ( Javascript ) when getting data through curl

I have a question. I have a url for Phantomjs which generates a PDF. But I want to generate the PDF on Serverside.

<script> $("#generatePDF").click(function(){
        var fullLink = "<? echo $link ?>"
        $.ajax({
            type: "POST",
            url: "/php/ajax/generatepdf.php?",
            data: {link : fullLink}
        }).done( function(data){
            window.open(data);
        } );
    }); </script>

This is where I send the data to the generatepdf.php

The link generates a PDF with Phantom.JS

Now I do the following in the generatepdf.php

 $link = $_POST['link'];
 CurlConnect = curl_init();
 curl_setopt($CurlConnect, CURLOPT_URL, $link);
 curl_setopt($CurlConnect, CURLOPT_POST,   1);
 curl_setopt($CurlConnect, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 0 );
 $Result = curl_exec($CurlConnect);
 echo $Result;

My question: How can I open a PDF in a new tab with the stuff from the phantom.js result?

I hope you understand my question.

Best Regards.

Instead using CURL and all that stuff simply hit the $link of php file in new tab.. (If the file is actually generating PDF)

window.open('Link which generates the PDF');
