how to show pdf files in .apk using phonegap+html+javascript

I have a html website and would like to use phonegap build to convert to an Android native app. I am trying to use inappbrowser to open the pdf from a link.

My zip contains: index.html config.xml "pdf" (folder that contain pdfs)

index.html:

<a href="#" onclick="javascript:window.open('pdf/test.pdf', '_blank', 'location=yes')";>TESTTEST</a>

config.xml:

<feature name="InAppBrowser">
   <param name="android-package" value="org.apache.cordova.inappbrowser.InAppBrowser" />
</feature>

I am using phonegap 3.3 and testing on Samsung Galaxy s2, however the link doesn't do anything. Can someone help me? Thanks!

Android's inAppBrowser does not have a pdf viewer so you will not be to show the pdf. Look at the answer here (http://community.phonegap.com/nitobi/topics/inappbrowser_not_loading_pdf_on_android) for how to display a pdf.
