Looks like you're not setting your headers correctly, I'm guessing you're using render() in Zend_PDF so try adding this in place on your current render()

$this->getResponse()->setHeader('Content-type', 'application/x-pdf', true);
$this->getResponse()->setHeader('Content-disposition', 'inline; filename=my-file.pdf', true);
$this->getResponse()->setBody($pdf->render());
