• iPhone's web views support PDFs. Android's do not.

  I hope you have gotten that answer in the last four weeks, but just in case you have not… To view a PDF on Android, the phone needs to download the PDF and then launch a 3rd party app like Adobe Reader or ThinkFree Office – one usually comes bundles with the phone. So to open a PDF on Android, you need to call:

  Ti.Platform.openURL('http://your.com/your.pdf');
  

  I wrote about some additional gotchas related to this on a different Q&A, including workarounds for all of them. (Hint: The above code won't work on some HTC Android devices, because the proper intents are not set.)

• You can view PDFs in Android by utilizing Android Intents. This blog post shows you exactly how to do this with Titanium: http://developer.appcelerator.com/blog/2011/09/sharing-project-assets-with-android-intents.html

• Just tested this code and it works, down know if there is a problem with your URL or something. I would suggest testing the URL but the code you have provided looks correct

  var win2 = Titanium.UI.createWindow({
      title : 'Test PDF',
      backgroundColor : '#fff'
  });
  
  var webview0 = Titanium.UI.createWebView({
      url : 'http://assets.appcelerator.com.s3.amazonaws.com/docs/API_UITableViewClass.pdf'
  });
  
  var webview1 = Titanium.UI.createWebView({
      url : 'http://assets.appcelerator.com.s3.amazonaws.com/docs/API_TitaniumModule.pdf'
  });
  
  var scrollView = Titanium.UI.createScrollableView({
      views:[webview0,webview1]
  });
  
  win2.add(scrollView);
