Troubleshooting
Problem
User runs a Controller standard report. This appears in HTML.
If the user changes the output to 'PDF' then a PDF version of the report appears.
Customer would like to know how to change the PDF to either:
(a) appear embedded inside the web browser session (in the Controller user interface)
(b) appear externally (trigger Adobe Reader to launch, and display the PDF outside of the Controller user interface)
How can they do this?
Symptom

(a) embedded inside the web browser
(b) displayed externally in Adobe Reader
