Download pdf report not working in alfresco community - alfresco

Question

I'm using alfresco community 5.0.d and when I try to download a pdf report then I get "Failed to load PDF Document".
Also in console, there is no error.
Below is screenshot of download report option.
How could I fix this issue of pdf loading?
Also for time being I would like to remove this download option of pdf? how to achieve this too?
UPDATE:
catalina.out log shows a error as below.

#nikhil84, I suggest using this code to generate the pdf rendition so you can get rid of the library causing the error.
Use the Alfresco SDK to create an alfresco all-in-one project.
Add the PDFRenditionService to repoAmp/src/main/java/com/yourCompany/alfresco/service
public static final String PDFRENDITIONNAME = "pdfRendition";
public static final QName pdfRenditionQName = QName.createQName(NamespaceService.CONTENT_MODEL_1_0_URI, PDFRENDITIONNAME);
RenditionDefinition pdfRenditionDefinition = renditionService.createRenditionDefinition(pdfRenditionQName, ReformatRenderingEngine.NAME);
pdfRenditionDefinition.setParameterValue(AbstractRenderingEngine.PARAM_MIME_TYPE, MimetypeMap.MIMETYPE_PDF);
renditionService.saveRenditionDefinition(pdfRenditionDefinition);
// Execute this line in its own transaction
renditionService.render(sourceNodeRef, pdfRenditionDefinition);
ChildAssociationRef renditionAssoc = renditionService.getRenditionByName(sourceNodeRef, pdfRenditionName);
if (renditionAssoc == null) return null
return renditionAssoc.getChildRef()
Add an alfresco webscript into the repo amp that will call the PDFRenditionService
Determine how you want to trigger the webscript.
Examine the alfresco-sdk-samples for more information.
