    There is insufficient information here to assist.  PDFs can be retrieved this way (I've done it).  Most problems arise after receiving it.  The PDF file is a proprietary format which can only be handled as BLOB.  Any changes to the BLOB can render the result invalid or corrupt.  Even changing the CCSID can result in problems.  You must be very careful with handling the result.
    Your description though sounds like the request node is not even getting the response.  Most likely a response or timeout occurs but is not correctly handled by your flow and then the transaction completes unexpectedly.
    You may need to trace this to see what kind of response you get and where it goes.  You might need to open a case with Support to investigate.
