My Acrobat Reader is acting up so I can't test this for sure, but if you want the user to view your pdf file just as they would a web page, just make a link to the file and the browser should automatically open AR. If this is what you want, be sure to put something next to the link stating that AR is required and provide links, etc.
If you want them to be able to download the file, you do the same thing. However, you'll either have to provide instructions to "right click on link and select 'save as' to download this file" or you'll have to "zip" the pdf file (which is, of course, not able to be displayed in the browser so they will only be given the choice of downloading the file).
Hope that helps.
