I would like to +1 this because if you have Netscape plugins enabled, some PDFs seem to insist on opening in an embedded renderer. For example, on my system, http://www.vishay.com/docs/82490/tsop321.pdf opens in a browser tab, which renders only a dark grey background. However, http://www.publishers.org.uk/_resources/assets/attachment/full/0/2091.pdf does the expected thing--which is to open a prompt for opening or saving.

When I view the source code for the former, I see:

<html>
  <body marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" style="background-color: rgb(38,38,38)">
    <embed width="100%" height="100%" name="plugin" src="http://www.vishay.com/docs/82490/tsop321.pdf" type="application/pdf">
  </body>
</html>

When I curl the same URL, I get what appears to be a PDF:

%PDF-1.4
%<E2><E3><CF><D3>
2 0 obj
<</Length 19558/Filter/FlateDecode>>stream

THis is an old issue, but this is one that i would give the one-up vote to as well. Aparently ive been spoiled in the past by having PDF files opened in my browser, but in my honest opinion the biggest benefit is that i don't have to download every single PDF file to my downloads folder to view it, which adds up to be quite a few quite quickly. But i also do see the point where it could be quite hard on the browser, etc.

You might want to look into JsFile.

Using the okular kpart for this might also be an idea
