You cant open pdf directly in android web browser.

Use Google Docs in a WebView Like this : Read pdf file from sd-card with the help of webview

How to open Sd card pdf file in Webview without using Intent in Android?

Generally, you can't. WebView does not have any native ability to display PDF files. You are welcome to attempt to get PDF.js to work, as is discussed in this Stack Overflow question.
