Not currently I don't believe.

I'm unsure if this would work for your purposes.. but you could (in code), convert to images, and then serve up those images of the PDF in the Flet GUI (https://flet.dev/docs/controls/image/)

This code may be useful for you:

import flet as ft
import os

def main(page: ft.Page):

page.title = 'Read PDF'


def open_file(e):
   if os.name == 'nt':
      # windows
      os.system(f"start {fic_pdf.value}")  
   else:
      # posix
      os.system(f"open {fic_pdf.value}")     

fic_pdf = ft.TextField('/home/emilio/PDF/Introduction_flet.pdf', width=500)

page.add(

  ft.Row(
      [fic_pdf,
        ft.IconButton(icon=ft.icons.TASK, icon_size=50, tooltip='Open PDF', on_click=open_file),
      ]
  )

)

ft.app(target=main)
