Opening PDF files-  I don't want students to have to download a pdf file to view.  I want it to simply open.  How do I do this?

 @dnosbisch , you can accomplish this anywhere you've included a PDF in the Rich Content Editor by enabling the auto-open for inline preview, and you'll find the instructions at How do I set the auto-open for inline preview for files using the Rich Content Editor?
