reactJS open a .pdf file from an external repository - reactjs

Question

I have a reactJS application hosted on AWS in an S3 instance. I also have a web site hosted on AWS in a different S3 instance. On the web site, I host a bunch of .pdf files. Lets assume I have 3 .pdf files located at:
https://www.mywebsite.com/pdffiles/file001.pdf
https://www.mywebsite.com/pdffiles/file002.pdf
https://www.mywebsite.com/pdffiles/file003.pdf
Is there a way for me to provide my reactJS application users with a series of links to the external .pdf files? I tried the following code:
renderDocuments = () => {
return (
<div>
<div className="documents_background">
<div className="row">
<div className="col-12 text-left text_14">
<label>Below are the links to the participant forms we have available for download. The forms are
in .pdf format. You will need to have Adabe Acrobat Reader installed in order to view these files.</label>
</div>
</div>
<div className="row">
<div className="col-9 text-left text_14">
<label>Form 1</label>
</div>
<div className="col-2 text-right text_14">
<a href="https://www.mywebsite.com/pdffiles/file001.pdf" Target="_blank" >Download</a>
</div>
<div className="col-1">
</div>
</div>
<div className="row">
<div className="col-9 text-left text_14">
<label>Form 2</label>
</div>
<div className="col-2 text-right text_14">
<a href="https://www.mywebsite.com/pdffiles/file002.pdf" Target="_blank" >Download</a>
</div>
<div className="col-1">
</div>
</div>
<div className="row">
<div className="col-9 text-left text_14">
<label>Form 3</label>
</div>
<div className="col-2 text-right text_14">
<a href="https://www.mywebsite.com/pdffiles/file003.pdf" Target="_blank" >Download</a>
</div>
<div className="col-1">
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
)
}
when I click on the hyperlink for form 1, I get the following in the console.log:
Resource interpreted as Document but transferred with MIME type application/pdf: "https://www.accurecord-direct.com/dotnet/PDFFILES/VSTA/vstm_enrollment_form.pdf"
The .pdf file does not open and the application just sits there waiting.
Thanks.
