All browsers allow you to download PDFs instead of opening them in the browser. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to find the settings that do this, but they are in there somewhere. Then you can open the PDF in your preferred application. It would be nice if you could tell the browser to open PDFs in another application, but the process described above only adds two extra clicks.
