Answer 1

You don't read your file in the right way. Here's how to read a file located in the asset folder:

mFileDescriptor = context.getAssets().openFd("sample.pdf").getParcelFileDescriptor();

See the official example for more help.

Answer 2

From the source code of the PDFRenderer.class:

import java.awt.AlphaComposite;
import java.awt.BasicStroke;
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Graphics2D;
import java.awt.Image;
...

Link to full source code

AWT is extremely limited on Android afaik.You'll have to look for another pdf library man.
