How to giving address from assets folder?

I intend opening a PDF file with the default application of my device. I have a problem giving address from the assets folder.
My giving address code is as follows:

File pdfFile = new File("file:///android_assets/test.pdf");
    Uri path = Uri.fromFile(pdfFile);
    Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
    intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
    intent.setDataAndType(path, "application/pdf");
    startActivity(intent);

This code gives the error This path is not valid when Adobe Reader opens. What's the correct address?

It shows the error because only your application have the permission to access that folder. You can think to copy the file in a different directory (e.g. some place in the sdcard) and provide acrobat reader with the uri to the copied file,
