Ionic - InAppBrowser browsing HTML files and navigating to PDF files

Following scenario:

I am using the InAppBrowser plugin from Ionic Native and I am navigating to a local html.. I open the first html in the InAppBrowser with the code:

this.inappbrowser.create("files/index.htm");

The index.htm contains links to some pdf documents. Its a known issue that the InAppBrowser can't display/open a pdf file on an Android device. How can I tell the InAppBrowser to open documents with the Document Viewer from Ionic Native or something else that can display it? Or is there a way to subscribe to an event and catch the url if I click on an link to a pdf?

Thanks!

You can't directly open PDF in external App. You can try this solution.
