Hi Karel,
if you are using the desktop client and have a PDF Viewer installed, you could use the following snippet:

if (Desktop.isDesktopSupported()) {
 try {
  File myFile = new File("c:\\myfile.pdf");
  Desktop.getDesktop().open(myFile);
 }
 catch (IOException ex) {
  // no application registered for PDFs
 }
}

Does this help you?
