Hi

If you mean to see the pdf file before saving it, it's possible to see the print of the sf only.

If you mean to open the pdf file after saving it:

CALL FUNCTION 'CALL_BROWSER'
       EXPORTING
            URL                    = LOC_FILE_NAME
       EXCEPTIONS
            FRONTEND_NOT_SUPPORTED = 1
            FRONTEND_ERROR         = 2
            PROG_NOT_FOUND         = 3
            NO_BATCH               = 4
            UNSPECIFIED_ERROR      = 5
            OTHERS                 = 6.
