The simplest way to do this is in two steps. First, upload your PDF to a cloud service that gives you a shareable view link. For example, Adobe Document Cloud lets you upload a file and use Share to get a link that opens the PDF in a browser viewer instead of downloading it. Google Drive works the same way if you set the link so anyone with the link can view it. Second, paste that link into any free QR code generator to create your QR code. When someone scans it, the PDF will display directly in their phone browser rather than downloading. Just double-check the sharing permissions so the link works for anyone who scans it.

Where — and how — you store your PDF will have a significant impact on how possible this can be.

If you don’t mind my asking, what are you trying to accomplish with your opening PDF? Who do you expect will be using the QR code, and why? And in what environment do you expect to store this PDF and grant access to the folks who use the QR code?

A QRcode can connect a City, a State, a Country and Whole World, both Physically and Digitally, know it's full power.

If you want to show the PDF on line, you will need to place it on a web page. The viewer can click on it. However, whether it is viewed in browser or downloaded will depend on the browser’s settings.

If it’s not interactive like a form, you can export it as HTML and create web pages from the content. You could also export as PNGs and place them in a web page.
