Hi by using the following code we can load the PDF.

String url = "http://marico.com/html/investor/pdf/annual_reports/ann_report_view_2010_11/Marico_Annual_Report_2010_11.pdf";
String googleDocsUrl = "http://docs.google.com/viewer?url="+url;
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setDataAndType(Uri.parse(googleDocsUrl ), "text/html");
 startActivity(intent);

If you want to load the pdf inside the web view then just write..

this.myWebView.loadUrl(googleDocsUrl);

Hope this work.
