The following thread from stackoverflow.com discusses different possibility to develop a pdf viewer for the javafx application. Displaying pdf in JavaFX

The following libraries can be tried for this implementation:

PDF.js
JPedalFX

Try the JPedalFX viewer which provides a JavaFX component for viewing PDF files.

OR

Pre-convert the PDF into JavaFX code prior to viewing using the JPedal PDF to JavaFX converter.

Don't know if this is what you are looking for, this line just opens pdf files in the OS (so not embedded or anything, you'll need a program installed that can handle pdf's like Adobe Reader):

Runtime.getRuntime().exec("rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler " + file.getAbsolutePath());

Two separate issues: PDF and display.

Java FX is your display.

You can generate PDFs using XSL-FO if you have XML to start with and like writing stylesheets, OR you can do it with Java code if you use the iText library.
