Why not use Acrobat's natural display functionality?
If you provide a direct link to a PDF, it is naturally displayed within the
browser (assuming the user has Acrobat Reader installed) - rather like
linking to a Word document.
If you want to hide the url of the file, then use CFContent to display the
PDF
