There are a number of ways to do that.

  1. InAppBrowser
  2. Themeable Browser
  3. Sitewearts Document viewer
  4. Android Native PDF Viewer

You can find the cordova plugins for all the above situations. Please read below article to see more info.

    Hi using these methods we can download an online pdf and save that and later open it. My requirement is to add the PDF inside the application folder. As soon as you install the app, the PDF will be available in it. No online interactions – Rahul Raj Apr 05 '17 at 06:26

I use this code and it works for me.

Its need a plugin.

showDocument(){
    const options: DocumentViewerOptions = {
        title: 'My PDF'
    }
    const imgeLocation = `${cordova.file.applicationDirectory}www/assets/imgs/${'Jainbhajan-Jeevan-Saar-By-Nirmal-Gangwal-1-ilovepdf-compressed (1).pdf'}`;
    this.document.viewDocument(imgeLocation, 'application/pdf', options)
}
