There is no problem getting it to appear as a pop-up or in a new tab. The 
problem is that you have no idea exactly how the browser IS displaying it to a user.

I quite agree that flash now needs replacing but 5 years ago it was a workable 
solution. Replacing that with another viewer would be nice nowadays,but there is 
nothing suitable? The point here was to allow the pdf to be wrapped with other 
links, and managing selection of things such as filtering terms for a report 
which is then output as a pdf makes sense. The report can also be printed if 
required, something which is not practical directly from an html page.
