Hi,

Check the following FM:

CALL_BROWSER - Calls default web browser or file manger

Use USER-COMMAND and write logic accordingly which on click on the button will call the FM...

Hi,

Download the PDF document to frontend say

C:\Documents and Settings\sap\Desktop\test.pdf

and provide this URL/path to the function module

Once the display is done you can delete the file in the frontend with CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>FILE_DELETE

Regards

Have you enabled "display PDF in browser" option.
