You should try cloning the whole project and try running it. For starters, your compileSdk version is quite old — OneCricketeer, Oct 10 '17 at 01:59
when i open and try new again i got this error "Error:Failed to find Build Tools revision 23.0.3" — Heri, Oct 10 '17 at 02:05

There are at two build.gradle file for a project with one module - one the project level and another the app level. Looks like you have mixed up both.

Move the android block to the app level build.gradle file and also don't forget to include minSdkVersion and targetSdkVersion

The sample code is in the GitHub URL that you've posted in the question. You can see project level gradle file in the root level and app level file in the directory android-pdf-viewer – Nabin Bhandari Oct 10 '17 at 02:13
