you can take a look at

or you can use fileopener plugin

 $scope.openPDF = function(url){
   switch(devicePlatform){
	case 'Android':

		/**
		 * Android devices cannot open up PDFs in a sub web view (inAppBrowser) so the PDF needs to be downloaded and then opened with whatever
		 * native PDF viewer is installed on the app.
		 */

		var fileURL = cordova.file.externalApplicationStorageDirectory+"local.pdf";

		var fileTransfer = new FileTransfer();
		var uri = encodeURI( url );

		fileTransfer.download(
			uri,
			fileURL,
			function(entry) {
				$scope.data.localFileUri = entry.toURL();
				window.plugins.fileOpener.open(entry.toURL());
			},
			function(error) {

			},
			false
		);


		break;
	default:

		/**
		 * IOS and browser apps are able to open a PDF in a new sub web view window. This uses the inAppBrowser plugin
		 */
		var ref = window.open(url, '_blank', 'location=no,toolbar=yes,closebuttoncaption=Close PDF,enableViewportScale=yes');
		break;
}
}
