Take a look on pdfbox.apache.org and textpdf.com/

Both are open source, free libraries. For more information try some googling. There are a lot of commercial libraries as well.

any idea on how to display without storing the file in db? Since its going to be a fixed pdf file which the user should be able to see

Why storing file in DB? All APIs use stream abstraction, so you can display data from any source.
