One can also use the cross on the top right side of the window ;-)
You can also float a close button (or image) above the PDF in one corner
AFAIK

You've asked for a "Close" button not a link:

<html>
<head>
<title>popupPDF .htm</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function popupPDF() {
var pdf = "http://www.google.com/";
var htm = "<html><head><t itle>popupPDF</title>";
htm += "</head><body><cen ter>";
htm += "<input type='button' value='Close'
onclick='window .close()'>";
htm += "<br><br>";
htm += "<iframe src='" + pdf +"'></iframe>";
htm += "<br><br>";
htm += "<input type='button' value='Close'
onclick='window .close()'>";
htm += "</center></body></html>";
var win = window.open("", "popupPDF", "");
win.document.wr ite(htm);
win.close;
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<a href="javascrip t:popupPDF()">P opup PDF</a>
</body>
</html>

<a href="loadpdf.c gi?pdf=somefile .pdf"
target="_blank"
onclick="window .open(this.href , this.target,
'..attributes.. ');return false;"[color=blue]
>Open somefile.pdf in a new window (maybe, if you haven't[/color]
disabled that functionality on your browser)</a>

Then have loadpdf.cgi output (using an ASP example, you could use
PHP, or Perl, or JSP, or ColdFusion, or any other server-side
technology for this):

<html>
<head>
<title>Window containing <%= Request.Value(' pdf') %></title>
</head>
<body>
<!-- your close buttons and stuff -->
<layer src="<%= Request.Value(' pdf') %>"><iframe src="<%=
Request.Value(' pdf') %>"></iframe></layer>
<!-- more buttons or whatever -->
</body>
</html>

You probably want some dimensions on the <layer> or <iframe> to make
it bigger than the default size. But remember, the window may not be
the size _you_ specify. Many browsers can honor your window.open()
request but still not provide a window the size, position and with
the chrome you requested.
