You really have no control over this as it is to do with the users browesr.

<a href="mydoc.pdf"> will either replace the current open webpage with
the PDF file (you have to click BACK to get back to the web page) or the
PDF will open in an acrobat reader window.

<a href="mydoc.pdf" target="_blank"> will open the PDF in a NEW browser
window and then load the PDF. If the user closes this window, the
orginal window will still be open.

Click the back button on your browser or add a link within the PDF.

Assuming the user has Acrobat Reader (or similar) installed of course.

How can i return to the
initial website?

I'm assuming here that the file opens in your browser with an "embedded"
version of Acrobat within the browser. Does your browser have a "back"
button? That's how I usually get back, and I think most of your visitors
will do the same (if they want to)

Cheers,

<a href="mydoc.pdf" target="_blank"> will open the PDF in a NEW browser
window and then load the PDF. If the user closes this window, the
orginal window will still be open.

And in many cases, the user will end up with an empty browser window in
addition to a PDF viewer window. Very confusing.

.... or it will open in some other PDF handling software ... or they'll be
prompted to save the file.

Like I said... you have no real control at all.
