I don't know about exactly what capabilities are available in which version of SAP Mobile. But here's a simpler solution for you. Create your data in an XML file that looks something like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?xfa generator="XFA2_4" APIVersion="2.8.8157.0"?>
<xdp:xdp xmlns:xdp="http://ns.adobe.com/xdp/">
<xfa:datasets xmlns:xfa="http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/">
<xfa:data>
    ...your normal form data goes here..
</xfa:data>
</xfa:datasets>
<pdf href="...URL for PDF..." xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/xdp/pdf/"/>
</xdp:xdp>

Now you have a couple of choices. You can call Reader and ask it to open (I forget the command line switch off hand) the XDP file or you can just ask Windows to open the XDP file with it's registered application. Since XDP is associated with Reader, this will work unless of course you also have Adobe Designer loaded on the system.

The href should be able to point to a file:// URL or an HTTP(s):// URL. I guess an FTP URL would work as well.

When you get a little sample working, this would be a great topic for a posting in the Interactive Forms area on SDN.
