Hi Vishal,
You have not mentioned in your post :-

  • From where are you invoking your custom VF page 
  • Also you need to specify the value of controller or customcontroller for aoex:page tab being used by you.

Do respond to the above queries for me to find the cause of the issue faced by you.

Why are you trying to pass an attachment to javascript? Why don't you handle everything within the controller?
