The browser PDF plugins that open a pdf inside the browser aren't so great.
However, the end user can change their computer settings to open all PDFs
with Adobe Reader or Acrobat instead of inside the browser. Or they can
choose to download the PDF and then open it with Reader.
You could also code your site to open the pdf as an attachment rather than
in the browser or a new window.
Here's an article on how to do that (I've not tried this myself):
