I want to display PDF

Answer 1

Don't use iFrames on mobile, especially Cordova apps. My suggestion would be to use the InAppBrowser Plugin cordova.InAppBrowser.open('http://linktopdf.com', '_blank', 'location=yes'); (will open the native safari viewer for iOS).

Getting this to work on Android is a bit more complicated. You can use the same approach above but swap _blank with _system. This downloads the PDF to the device through the default browser. The second, more involved approach for Android is to download the pdf file to the filesystem through a plugin in the app, and then open it through the default pdf reader.
