I believe I answered your question (or tried to anyway..) in this
thread:
http://groups.google.com/group/tiddlywiki/browse_thread/thread/37b4696e272e931e/96e5d799fc6b3f48?hl=da&q=dropbox#96e5d799fc6b3f48

If you want to be be OS-agnostic (be able to open a pdf in the browser
on all platforms - not only Windows)
I think you should consider using googles online pdf-viewer for your
dropbox-served pdfs.
Create a tiddler [[PdfView]].
Copy the online address to your directory containing your pdfs
and write:
<html><iframe src="http://docs.google.com/viewer?url=http://
dl.dropbox.com/u/xxxxxxx/$1&embedded=true" width="600" height="780"
style="border: none;"></iframe></html>

(the seven x's are some numbers)

Now you can use this as a template to open pdfs from some directory of
yours by writing:
<<tiddler PdfView with: directoryname/pdfname.pdf>>

If you always use the same directory for your pdfs you might as well
put it in the PdfView template url i.e:
"url=http://dl.dropbox.com/u/xxxxxxx/YourPdfDirectory/$1";

You might even consider putting it into your ViewTemplate like this:
<span macro="tiddler PdfView with:{{tiddler.title}}"> </span>
and name your pdf-tiddler= PdfName.pdf

NB: The google pdfviewer needs to serve pdf-files via http, and you
*can* use relative paths to you pdf directories - IF you watch your TW
from your public link - however you loose editing capabilities...
Therefore my advice is to set up your local TW to serve the public
link for your pdfs instead...
