Assuming the PDF file resides on the PC:

REPORT ztest.

DATA: BEGIN OF itab OCCURS 0,
        field(256),
      END   OF itab.
DATA: dsn(100) VALUE '/usr/sap/xfr/FIS/testpdf'.

CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'
     EXPORTING
          filename   = 'c:temptest.pdf'
          filetype   = 'BIN'
     TABLES
          data_tab   = itab.

OPEN DATASET dsn FOR OUTPUT IN BINARY MODE.

LOOP AT itab.
  TRANSFER itab-field TO dsn.
ENDLOOP.

You can read and upload the file to the PC:

report ztest.

data: begin of itab occurs 0,
        field(256),
      end   of itab.
data: dsn(100) value '/usr/sap/xfr/FIS/testpdf',
      length  like sy-tabix,
      lengthn like sy-tabix.

call function 'GUI_UPLOAD'
     exporting
          filename   = 'c:temptest.pdf'
          filetype   = 'BIN'
     importing
          filelength = length
     tables
          data_tab   = itab.

open dataset dsn for output in binary mode.

loop at itab.
  transfer itab-field to dsn.
endloop.

close dataset dsn.
clear   itab.
refresh itab.

open dataset dsn for input in binary mode.

do.
  read dataset dsn into itab-field.
  if sy-subrc = 0.
    append itab.
  else.
    exit.
  endif.
enddo.

call function 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
     exporting
          filename     = 'c:temptestn.pdf'
          filetype     = 'BIN'
          bin_filesize = length
     importing
          filelength   = lengthn
     tables
          data_tab     = itab.
