What do you mean by "open a pdf file" in this context?
Matlab does not have any routines to display PDF files itself.
You could call upon an external application to display the
postscript file, such as by using system().

If it was your hope to be able to read and process images that
are stored in PDF files, then Sorry, at least as of 2007a there
are no Matlab facilities to process PDF files as inputs.
