... anyone please?
I found here the following:

Action: android.intent.action.VIEW
Data: content://com.android.htmlfileprovider/sdcard/name_of_pdf.pdf
Type: PDF/*

Is this possible using b4A code?

There is no such thing as a file shortcut in Android. You can create a shortcut to your application that will do whatever you need with the file.

Could you please guide me as to how this:

Action: android.intent.action.VIEW
Data: content://com.android.htmlfileprovider/sdcard/name_of_pdf.pdf
Type: PDF/*

could be written in b4A?

This is not Java code.
