My preference is that attached PDFs open in a browser window, rather than being prompted to download them (as seems to be the current default).
If I choose to examine a document in more detail, or want to save it for reference, then I'll download it. But in general, my first look at a PDF is to determine whether it's of interest. I'd prefer not to clutter my desktop with TypeDrawers attachments that don't make the cut.

If you code a page in simple HTML and include a link to a pdf, the default behavior of most browsers is to display the pdf in the browser window. The user has to do something special to cause it to be downloaded instead.
The Vanilla folks had to do something extra to override that.
