If you have acrobat installed, all you have to do is make sure that the file has the .pdf extension on the end. It will automatically download and start up acrobat.
just put it in a href link

The file has a .pdf extension but still cannot do it. It is like this <A href="user.pdf#user">user</A> ?

I put all pdf's in there own directory and it seems to work.
<a href="_pdf/urar.pdf">
The path is: www.yourdomain.com/_pdf/file.pdf
Then in your ftp program make a _pdf directory and put all of the pdf documents in there.
I hope this helps.

If you are trying to link to a target IN a pdf file, no, you cannot do that from outside the pdf file. WITHIN the pdf file, you can link to other areas of the same file, though.
You can only link TO the pdf file from an HTML document. You can link to any url from a pdf file, though.
