You should use third-party libraries for these stuffs i guess, by the way, the native android browser doesn't support this pdf format.

For example, for completing above users answer, this is only available on + android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN

Check this too:

//The default value is true for API level android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.ICE_CREAM_SANDWICH_MR1 and below, //and false for API level android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN and above.

if(android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN)

You can use mozilla's pdf.js.

Sample project on how you do it in Android. Sample project made by user Butelo.

As user LinX64 pointed out, this is only usable on android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN and above.
