const Buffer = require('buffer').Buffer;

const buff = Buffer.from('something cool');
console.log(buff);
console.log(buff.toString());

Call .toString() on the Buffer object, this will convert it into a string value.

<Buffer 73 6f 6d 65 74 68 69 6e 67 20 63 6f 6f 6c>
something cool

how can i display a buffer data as Pdf Document in my react app?

With something like this: https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-pdf

I also came across another question that's similar to yours and is using the react-pdf library, I thought it may be useful: https://stackoverflow.com/a/45604439/2932298.
