Try the following code

private void loadDocInReader(String doc)
     throws ActivityNotFoundException, Exception {

    try {
                Intent intent = new Intent();

                intent.setPackage("com.adobe.reader");
                intent.setDataAndType(Uri.parse(doc), "application/pdf");

                startActivity(intent);

    } catch (ActivityNotFoundException activityNotFoundException) {
                activityNotFoundException.printStackTrace();

                throw activityNotFoundException;
    } catch (Exception otherException) {
                otherException.printStackTrace();

                throw otherException;
    }
}
