For me, the pdf is displayed using Emacs's Doc View mode.
This converts the pdf to a png and displays the png.
So you aren't viewing the actual pdf file, you can't edit it, etc.
So I don't think it would make sense to set buffer-file-name as if you were.
(There is doc-view--buffer-file-name, an internal variable.)
