PDF file sent from flask to client is empty when downloaded

I have a flask server that sends a pdf file with the send_file function.
When I test this route on postman I can view and download the pdf.
However when I try to download it through my React frontend the file is blank BUT with the correct amount of pages.
I suppose the problem stems from my use of blob but I don’t see how.

Server route

@app.route("/test", methods=["GET"])
def results():
    if request.method == "GET":
        return send_file("pdf-path", cache_timeout=0, as_attachment=True)

This route works fine when tested on postman. I can view the pdf

client side

axios.get(URL + '/test')
    .then(function (response) {
        if (response.status === 200) {
            const type = 'application/pdf';
            const file = new Blob([data], { type: type });
            saveAs(file, "test.pdf");
        }
    }
    )

Here I am using axios and file-saver.
The file is downloaded but all the pages are empty.
