you can try below code to open a file(on any url) in a iframe. 

Window window = new Window();
window.setWidth("90%");
window.setHeight("90%");
BrowserFrame e = new BrowserFrame("PDF File", new ExternalResource("http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/pdf_open_parameters.pdf"));
e.setWidth("100%");
e.setHeight("100%");
window.setContent(e);
window.center();
window.setModal(true);
UI.getCurrent().addWindow(window);
