The browser doesn't support pdf files (at least not without installation of a third party app).

Just jumping into the conversation here...

Hello, I'm just jumping into the conversation here because I would also like to know how to do this. I'm fairly new to B4A and wanted to add my two cents;

Would it be possible using the phone library to send the PDF to the Android OS to handle using;

phoneintents.openbrowser("http://www.somedomain.com/some.pdf")

???

Thanks.

Android doesn't have a standard pdf reader.

If there is a pdf reader installed then you can send an intent as described here:
