Open it and do what with it though, simply display it? I don't think you really even do anything else, but your question does not make it clear. See the linked possible duplicate and see if that solves your issue. — turbo, Nov 14 '13 at 17:08

You can open pdf via webview and google docs. You should use

WebView.loadUrl("http://docs.google.com/gview?embedded=true&url=www.site.com/file.pdf");

Since the PDF is not an online resource, this will become rather complicated. – Janis F Nov 14 '13 at 18:05

I would use a PDF Renderer to convert the file to a Bitmap. Otherwise, you would have to use another application to open the file, or the option that Walter gave you. Here is an example using a different library for rendering a PDF using Java.
