You could open the PDF in a new window:

 <asp:HyperLink Target="_blank" runat="server" ID="linkBarPdf" Text="Open Bar PDF" NavigateUrl="~/foo/bar.pdf">

This won't host the PDF though, but rather serve up the file for execution by the local machine's viewer. That COULD be a browser plug-in, or it could be outside of the browser.

you can also do this with a straight up HTML hyperlink and avoid the <asp:HyperLink> wrapper object.
@Visionary: indeed. I figured I'd give an ASP.NET solution rather than an HTML-only. Perhaps there is some code-behind involved here, and perhaps some reliance on viewstate.
