Magento doesn't store PDF files, it generates PDF on demand.
It keeps all the required data in different tables and compose the PDF based on configurations and PDF template.

Thanks! Do you know the name of the events (admin panel and user panel) called when the pdf is shown? I want to create an observer and show another pdf.– VixentCommented Apr 13, 2017 at 13:36

You'll find pdf directory in model of sales module. There is a PHP file which renders the pdf, you can extend that renderer and customize the pdf as you want. Commented Apr 13, 2017 at 13:58

@Arman It's a good solution. But I simply want to open a pdf file (that I generate before) saved in a folder. I was trying to override the method getPdf of \Magento\Sales\Model\Order\Pdf\Invoice.php but it doesn't work (at least in magento 2.1).– VixentCommented Apr 13, 2017 at 14:28
