Try This

        @Override
        public void onPageStarted(WebView view, String url, Bitmap favicon) {
            // check here the url
            if (url.endsWith(".pdf")) {
                Intent browserIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(url));
                startActivity(browserIntent);
            } else {
                super.onPageStarted(view, url, favicon);
            }
        }

        @Override
        public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
            super.onPageFinished(view, url);
        }

        @Override
        public void onReceivedError(WebView view, WebResourceRequest request, WebResourceError error) {
            super.onReceivedError(view, request, error);
        }
