None of the "text fields", whatever it is, can display PDF. This is just a wrong idea. You are not asking how do display, say, TIFF image in the text field, right? Then why are you asking about PDF? This is, essentially, the same thing. PDF is not text. It is not text at all. Not even close. Just forget it.

Perhaps you can get more help if you explain your ultimate goals, your scenario, something like that. Only either forget about "text fields", or forget PDF, or both. :-)

Yes, in some cases, you can convert some part of some PDF to text. But the result won't be PDF. If that could be useful for you, you can work in this direction: find one or another open-source PDF reader, and so on…
