is there a way to get it to open PDF directly as if it were a link and not have it try to save the file
-
with acrobat installed , yes, without it, only with some pdf processor in php, asp, or server side action, and hfs is a server, but not with this feature, not yet....
but you could try some free web service , the funny thing is that even adobe provide such service....
like this :

menu -> other options -> open directly in browser
it may help

It works.
I have the file extension added in menu -> other options -> open directly in browser
and the PDF opens in Acrobat Reader for me.
-
Is there another option you have to check to get the server to recognize the open in browser variables.
I tried adding *.pdf but it still gives me the save to dialog. Just for the heck of it I tried deleting *.jpg from the box but it still opens *.jpg directly. So its like nothing in that box effects it what so ever. I have tried resetting the server and web browser.
Would using a template bypass this option?
-
When you visit a website some where else that has .pdf files,
do they open via Acrobat reader in your browser ?
I'm not sure if this is proper, but I also have *.pdf listed in HFS
Menu > Other Options > MIME Types ?
-
that setting in HFS is just a "suggestion" for the browser.
HFS can't force it, your browser may decide or be configured to act differently...
