-Copy the following code in your activity. Call the function CopyReadAssets("File_name.pdf") from onCreate() function. Place the File_name.pdf file in assets folder.

private void CopyReadAssets(String pdfname)
{
    AssetManager assetManager = getAssets();
    InputStream in = null;
    OutputStream out = null;
    File file = new File(getFilesDir(), pdfname);
    try
    {
        in = assetManager.open(pdfname);
        out = openFileOutput(file.getName(), Context.MODE_WORLD_READABLE);
        copyFile(in, out);
        in.close();
        in = null;
        out.flush();
        out.close();
        out = null;
    } catch (Exception e)
    {
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Pdf Viewer not installed", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }
    try
    {
    Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
    intent.setDataAndType(
            Uri.parse("file://" + getFilesDir() + "/"+pdfname),
            "application/pdf");

    startActivity(intent);
    }catch (Exception e) {
        // TODO: handle exception
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Pdf Viewer not installed" ,Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }
}

private void copyFile(InputStream in, OutputStream out) throws IOException
{
    byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
    int read;
    while ((read = in.read(buffer)) != -1)
    {
        out.write(buffer, 0, read);
    }
}
