Question on sending report output to PDF

Hi...I'm trying to output an SSRS 2005 report, so that the output goes
immediately to PDF.
I know that I can do the following as the URL:
http://MyServer/ReportServer?/ReportFolder/MyReport&rs:Command=render&rs:Format=PDF&PrimaryKey=1
However, when I do that, I get the 'File Download' dialog, where I can
either save the PDF download as a file, or open it.
What I'd like to do is have the URL "immediately" launch Adobe with the
PDF version of the report (I guess "streaming" it?). So basically, I
don't want the file download dialog. However, I'm not sure of the
syntax. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,

This is the best alternative for what you are looking for. It does
take coding; however, this is the best way to accomplish this.
