Answer 1

use PdfViewer.jar and making a code like below - copied from here

First.java

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) 
{
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);

    File images = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
    imagelist = images.listFiles(new FilenameFilter()
    {  
            public boolean accept(File dir, String name)  
            {  
                    return ((name.endsWith(".pdf")));
            }  
    }); 
    pdflist = new String[imagelist.length]; 
    for(int i = 0;i(this,android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, pdflist));
}

@Override
protected void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) 
{
        super.onListItemClick(l, v, position, id);
        String path = imagelist[(int)id].getAbsolutePath();
        openPdfIntent(path);
}

private void openPdfIntent(String path) 
{
    try
    {
      final Intent intent = new Intent(First.this, Second.class);
      intent.putExtra(PdfViewerActivity.EXTRA_PDFFILENAME, path);
      startActivity(intent);
    }
    catch (Exception e) 
    {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

Second.java

public class Second extends PdfViewerActivity 
{

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
}

public int getPreviousPageImageResource() {
    return R.drawable.left_arrow;
}

public int getNextPageImageResource() {
    return R.drawable.right_arrow;
}

public int getZoomInImageResource() {
    return R.drawable.zoom_in;
}

public int getZoomOutImageResource() {
    return R.drawable.zoom_out;
}

public int getPdfPasswordLayoutResource() {
    return R.layout.pdf_file_password;
}

public int getPdfPageNumberResource() {
    return R.layout.dialog_pagenumber;
}

public int getPdfPasswordEditField() {
    return R.id.etPassword;
}

public int getPdfPasswordOkButton() {
    return R.id.btOK;
}

public int getPdfPasswordExitButton() {
    return R.id.btExit;
}

public int getPdfPageNumberEditField() {
    return R.id.pagenum_edit;
}
}

Hope this helps you lot. Try this. Don't forgot to add your Second.java in your manifest. Add some drawables whatever it requires in second.java with your drawables. And, Refer the example from GitHub
