Sachin,
Like any application, Acrobat has its own set of pitfalls when you're trying
to make PDFs accessible to web use. Acrobat professional does have a set of
tools for optimizing files for web-based viewing. It all depends upon how
the file was created and its original intent for use. There are more
variables in play than just thinking the format is unsuitable for web use.
If you're a MAC user, you may find preview is a more acceptable means of
viewing the format via the web.
There are plenty of problems associated with using javascript, for instance,
with certain browsers, but that does not mean that it is impossible to use.
Creating the file for use on the web is where it starts. Oftentimes, one has
to deal with a file that was created for print.
I know adobe has been tinkering with the format over the past few years, but
the main issue is that print still relies upon the format so heavily to
transmit information. So we're stuck for now.
I do agree that separate windows is always the best way to view files.

Hello Ben,
As i would look at this is open the PDF in a separate window. This
allows the user to go on with his work. Opening the PDF in the same
browser window is frustrating as PDF is not meant for web.
I think Adobe should work on their Acrobat solution and also provide
a far more advanced optimising tool for the PDF to be converted to
web. They should probably call it the WebPDF format or something like
that.
PDF is, as Mark said, not for the web.
