Solution

Disable the RadCompression to the Reporting REST service(WebAPI based) to receive documents bytes in the client (Viewer).

<configuration>
  <configSections>
    <sectionGroup name="telerik.web.ui">
      <section name="radCompression" type="Telerik.Web.UI.RadCompressionConfigurationSection, Telerik.Web.UI, PublicKeyToken=121fae78165ba3d4" allowDefinition="MachineToApplication" requirePermission="false"/>
    </sectionGroup>
  </configSections>

  <telerik.web.ui>
    <radCompression>
      <excludeHandlers>
        <add handlerPath="api/reports/" matchExact="false"/>
      </excludeHandlers>
    </radCompression>
  </telerik.web.ui>

Where the handlerPath should point to the Reporting REST Service - the HTML5 Viewer's serviceUrl.
