If you just want to open a pdf file inside Flex it is possible, however, you would have to put the .pdf file on your webserver and call it with the url. AIR will automatically load the pdf using the HTML component. In Flex, you could use the navigateToURL request to open it up in a new browser window or if you want to open it up inside Flex, try using a iFrame:
