>Is there a way to embed the .pdf in a panel?
No. We researched this extensively. The limitation is with the mobile safari browser
>Is there a way to open the .pdf or any other linked non-mobi page in a new, separate safari window?
This is doable. Use a snippet of code similar to the following to trigger the action to load your pdf. Be sure to prefix the window.open() call with javascript: you place this code in the Link property of a widget, e.g., javascript:window.open(…)
window.open(pdfURLHere,'_new'); //opens in new window instance, instance is shared
or
window.open(pdfURLHere,'_blank'); //opens in new window instance, instance is not shared
Note: the Test Center only support a single browser window. Opening additional windows programmatically will open the URL in a limited full size browser that has no traditional browser chrome.
Here is a screenshot and UI layout file of a simple example that I created to confirm this works.
