Does the document on the other PC also exists on the exact same path? Will it be always the same PDF? In this case include it in the resources (see e.g. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3861989/preferred-way-of-loading-resources-in-java) — Joachim Rohde, Dec 04 '19 at 08:56

You Can Use file chooser or ProcessBuilder

Two parts in there

Use the file chooser to select a file (you already got that)
Then use that file name with either some Java component that is able to open/present the PDF file; or use javas See Here ProcessBuilder to start a new external process that uses some tool like Adobe Reader to open that file.
