Answer 1

You could do that with an workflow (below with an SharePoint 2010 WF) and "Set Field in Current Item". So the field would be "DocumentURL" and the value ist over "Workflow Context" available.

The column could be an "Hyperlink or Picture" column.

1. Workflow Action

   

2. Properties of the action

   

3. If you want to start the workflow after uploading make sure the start options are set

   

4. The output should be similar to this

   

If you click on that link, it will open up the .pdf file and you can also copy that link and send it via e-mail.

Answer 2

if you do not want to go workflow you can refer the below link for get all metadata of doc's

Answer 3

Please try the CSR below:

function init() {
    SPClientTemplates.TemplateManager.RegisterTemplateOverrides({
        Templates: {
            Fields: {
                "DocumentURL": {
                    View: function(ctx) {
                        return window.location.protocol + "//" + window.location.host + ctx.CurrentItem["FileRef"];
                    },
                }
            },
        },
        ListTemplateType: 101
    });
}
RegisterModuleInit(SPClientTemplates.Utility.ReplaceUrlTokens("~siteCollection/Style Library/DocURL.js"), init);
init();

You might have to change the column name ('DocumentURL') to the internal name of the corresponding column in your list.

You might have to change the URL in the RegisterModuleInit-function depending on where you upload the script and how you call the file.
