Once downloaded to your device path, you can try this with two modules.

You must have two modules installed and available. react-native-file-viewer and react-native-document-picker

Example

import FileViewer from 'react-native-file-viewer';
import { DocumentPicker, DocumentPickerUtil } from 'react-native-document-picker';

DocumentPicker.show({
  filetype: [DocumentPickerUtil.allFiles()],
}, (error, res) => {
  if(res) {
    FileViewer.open(res.uri)
    .then(() => {
      // success
    })
    .catch(_err => {
      // error
    });
  }
});
