Thank you!
There are two methods to show a PDF in Lightning Component.
1. First, you can create a Visualforce page and embed it in the Lightning component.
See detailed example:http://www.vermanshul.com/2017/07/lightning-generate-pdf-from-lightning.html
2. Second is the usage of PDF.JS library to directly use the lightning component to display the PDF.
See details here:https://medium.com/my-journey-with-salesforce1-platform/pdf-viewer-lightning-component-f96e6a5704ab
