String pdfUrl="http://54.64.229.48/dev/sites/default/files/final_features%20for%20Oh%2527%20My%20Concierge_29_06_2018.pdf"; 

String url = "http://docs.google.com/gview?embedded=true&url=" + pdfUrl; 

webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true); 

webView.loadUrl(url);

Use this code and let me know if it works for you Remember it will not open pdf in WebView

Intent viewPdfIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
viewPdfIntent.setData(Uri.parse("http://54.64.229.48/dev/sites/default/files/final_features%20for%20Oh%2527%20My%20Concierge_29_06_2018.pdf"));
viewPdfIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
if (viewPdfIntent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null) {
    startActivity(viewPdfIntent);
}

And for WebView you can use

 private void setUpWebView(String documentUrl) {
        webView.setWebViewClient(new AppWebViewClients());
        webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
        webView.getSettings().setUseWideViewPort(false);
        webView.loadUrl("http://docs.google.com/gview?embedded=true&url="
                + documentUrl);

    }

and 

 public class AppWebViewClients extends WebViewClient {


        @Override
        public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            view.loadUrl(url);
            return true;
        }

        @Override
        public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            super.onPageFinished(view, url);

        }
    }

Don't Forget to add in manifest.xml

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
