Well, as I've already said, you won't be able to show the PDF in a thickbox,
because the OS/browser will catch the link and try to open it using the
default action set in the browser or OS, and there's nothing that you can do
to override it. If no default action is set, then you -might- be able to
open it in the browser. But let's be honest, the percentage of users without
a PDF reader is pretty small (probably the same percentage as those browsing
the web on an Amiga 1200. :-)

As far as I know, there is no ability to read PDF's inline like you're
trying to do, and trying to force PDFs to open in a small window just isn't
practical, and users won't like it if you force it upon them.

At the end of the day, I'm really not sure that you can override the
browsers default file actions because it borders on security (for example,
if this wasn't true, what's to stop a malicious programmer from malforming
JS to open executables without your permission?).
