Just store the pdf files on your server using Multipart Post multipart request with Android SDK and then retrieve those files and store them in phone. Then you can use a filemanager https://github.com/nexes/Android-File-Manager to select and open the file.
For opening pdf you have to fire the intent which will open pdf file by using a preinstalled app or if you want to open by your app then there are several libraries like muPDF library, iText library(Java Library).

Then you firstly must learn the basics as without knowing the basics it is pretty much tough to understand things. – Akash Jindal Sep 30 '14 at 08:29
