Loading pdf's directly into the browser can be a very frustrating experience if the pdf is large or the computer is somewhat slow - the browser usually locks up while the pdf is loading. Furthermore, the browser chrome limits the amount of viewable space available on the pdf itself.
So for purely practical usability issues, I always recommend that pdf hyperlinks open into a dialog box asking users to save or open the file seperately. Asking the user to make one additional decision is far less annoying than the alternative. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
