i think you can use a link like this:
<a href="abc.pdf">Open PDF File</a>

PDF file is having the default property of opening in Browser window when
you open it using a url. It will open as a standalone onlye when u open it
from your system.

You can configure the Reader so that it opens the files in the external
Reader (as a helper application). I assume you are using Windows, and the
latest release of the Reader. Go to "Edit>Preferences>General", then select
the "Internet" category and uncheck the "Display PDF in Browser" setting.

Sorry if double posting happens, I see error while posting first time

disable / remove the plugin and it should act as standalone. though you dont
have control over individual browsers.. except you own one.
