NSString *bundlePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath];
NSFileManager *mgr = [[NSFileManager alloc] init];
NSArray *allFiles = [mgr contentsOfDirectoryAtPath:bundlePath error:NULL];
for (NSString *fileName in allFiles)
{
if ([[fileName pathExtension] isEqualToString:@"pdf"])
{
NSString *fullFilePath = [bundlePath stringByAppendingPathComponent:fileName];
// fullFilePath now contains the path to your pdf file
// DoSomethingWithFile(fullFilePath);
NSLog(@"file: %@",fullFilePath);
}
}
NSURL *url = [[NSBundle mainBundle] URLForResource:@"" withExtension: @"pdf"];
NSLog(@"File: %@",url);

You can't do it in iOS 8 (I haven't checked 9 though). You can't even enlist your app (adding corresponding URL schemes) in the sharing menu of iBooks.

You have to associate your app with the PDF types which you want to open. You can do this by adding some parameters to your Info.plist.
There's a well-answered post which explains this:
How do I associate file types with an iPhone application?
You should also consider reading Apple's documentation and a blog post written by me.
