I ran into this issue myself, the only difference being that I use Google Cloud Storage instead of Digital Ocean.

In my case the problem was related to this issue. The problem was that Google Cloud Storage didn't set the Content-Type header to application/pdf. Once I made GCS serve the correct Content-Type header the pdf rendered correctly.

You need to find a way for Digital Ocean to serve your PDFs with the correct Content-Type header.
