                Intent1.SetType("application/pdf")
                Intent1.Flags = 1
                Try
                    StartActivity(Intent1)
                Catch
                    MsgboxAsync("No App to display PDF files is installed on your device...." & CRLF & CRLF &  LastException,"Error PDF")
                End Try

            End Try
        End If

I've just released a new FileProvider class: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/class-fileprovider-share-files.97865/

See the 'view image' implementation and do similar thing with your pdf document.
