As an alternative you can try opening pdf in google docs. Try below code-

   String pdfurl = "http://www.example.com/yourfile.pdf";
   String googleDocsUrl = "http://docs.google.com/viewer?url="+pdfurl;
   Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
   intent.setDataAndType(Uri.parse(googleDocsUrl ), "text/html");
   startActivity(intent);
