Richard and Karen,
Thanks for your help this morning with my PDF question. I created the link
dynamically as you suggested.
In retrospect, I also think that I was seeking a javascript solution,
i.e., now that the PDF file exists on the web server :
<?php
$openPDF = "<SCRIPT>
window.open('path_to_PDF_file_on_server');</SCRIPT>";
?>
Then echo out the variable within the body of the HTML document :
<?php
echo $openPDF;
?>

in
