It will depend on the users browser setting. Some settings will open the document inside the browser, others will open it in with an external program (Acrobat or Word), and others will download it. You cannot choose which one it is. Although you can force the browser to always download the file instead of using the browsers default behaviour. Which is what eZ does.
OK guys, figured it out myself. In case anyone else needs this:
the config file settings/file.ini has an (undocumented ...) section, where you can associate a content-disposition method [1] for mime-types. I.e. you can specify that PDFs should be displayed in the browser. Works only if the browser can handle that type of file (i.e. has a PDF-plugin installed).
The section looks like this and can be overriden in an override-template:
[PassThroughSettings]
# The default value for mime types not specified using ContentDisposition
# is "attachment". Possible values are attachment or inline. ContentDisposition[application/x-shockwave-flash]=inline
