This clutters my mobile device and uses flash card space that I could use for other apps or purposes. I wonder if there is a Calibre setup where I can read the PDF e-books in the local webpage without downloading the PDF into my mobile device. Any advice is welcome! :-)
You are confused on how a PDF is handled.
A PDF is a Single file.
It must be fully transferred before it can be opened (viewed).

Your choice is:
Get on demand. (the Calibre content server can help with this)
Delete from your device when done viewing
Data charges may apply (if not local WiFi)
