If the location of the PDF document is known in any of the attributes of the features, you can simply open it in a new window/tab:

window.open(pdfUrl, "_blank");

That is the example. You just need to replace pdfUrl with the actual URL location of the PDF document, e.g. "http://myserver.com/data/feature1.pdf" (absolute pathname) or "/data/feature1.pdf" (relative pathname). Follow the API instructions to retrieve information from your features with the IdentifyTask (API 3.16: IdentifyTask | API Reference | ArcGIS API for JavaScript , API 4.0: IdentifyTask | API Reference | ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.0 ).
