Hi abdul
  Well you can use this code as a RFC.
Function in ABAP.
function zpdf_demo.
*"*"Local interface:
*"  IMPORTING
*"     VALUE(IM_SF_DEMO) TYPE  SSFSCREEN-FNAME DEFAULT
*"       'PDF_DEMO'
*"  EXPORTING
*"     VALUE(LV_SIZE) TYPE  I
*"     VALUE(BIN_FILE) TYPE  XSTRING
*"  TABLES
*"      ET_PDF STRUCTURE  TLINE OPTIONAL
  data : out_opt type ssfcompop, ctrl type ssfctrlop, out_info type
ssfcrescl.
  data: function_name     type rs38l_fnam.
  out_opt-tdnoprev = 'X'.
  out_opt-tddest = 'WIND'.
*NO_OPEN
*NO_CLOSE
*DEVICE
  ctrl-no_dialog = 'X'.
  ctrl-preview   = ' '.
  ctrl-getotf    = 'X'.
  call function 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'
       exporting
            formname           = im_sf_demo
*         VARIANT            = ' '
*         DIRECT_CALL        = ' '
       importing
            fm_name            = function_name
       exceptions
            no_form            = 1
            no_function_module = 2
            others             = 3.
* call function to process smart form
  call function function_name
       exporting
*           archive_index        = is_archive_index
           control_parameters   = ctrl
           output_options       = out_opt
      importing
           job_output_info      = out_info
*           job_output_options   = es_job_output_options
      exceptions
           output_canceled      = 1
           parameter_error      = 2
           others               = 3
  call function 'CONVERT_OTF'
   exporting
     format                      = 'PDF'
*   MAX_LINEWIDTH               = 132
*   ARCHIVE_INDEX               = ' '
*   COPYNUMBER                  = 0
*   ASCII_BIDI_VIS2LOG          = ' '
importing
   bin_filesize                = lv_size
   bin_file                    = bin_file
    tables
      otf                         = out_info-otfdata
      lines                       = et_pdf
exceptions
   err_max_linewidth           = 1
   err_format                  = 2
   err_conv_not_possible       = 3
   err_bad_otf                 = 4
   others                      = 5
  if sy-subrc <> 0.
* MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
*         WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
  endif.
endfunction.
Here is the relevant thing that you need to do in WebDynpro. Create a button and in the action for the button write the following code.
The RFC export parameter BIN_FILE will give you the content as a byte array.
//Code written in onActionClick of Button ui element
byte[] pdfContent= wdContext.currentZPDF_Demo().getBin_file();                             
IWDCachedWebResource pdfResource=WDWebResource.getWebResource                  
     (pdfContent,WDWebResourceType.PDF);                                        
wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createExternalWindow(                        
      pdfResource.getURL(),"Report View",true).open();
Well that will display the output in PDF on the Webpage when you click the button.
Hope that was helpful.
