On iOS side, the dialog will always open but on the Android side, if there is no application installed on the device to be able to handle PDF files, the extension will return false. So you should probably promote that user to install Acrobat reader app or any other application that can handle PDF files.
On Android side, your pdf file must be copied to File.cacheDirectory. On iOS side, your file can be anywhere! File.applicationDirectory, File.applicationStorageDirectory or File.documentsDirectory they all work.
