Custom URL and Google Drive must open in safari-Can this be done natively in app?

Hi All, I have an app for iOS (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mr.-janus-world-history-class/id817247001) that has a custom URL that points to a page with an embedded google drive list. All of the links in the embed are to pdf files on google drive. However, when the document is clicked on, it loads. But we cannot open that doc in another app, such as notability. We must first open it in safari, download it and then send to a note program. Is there anyway to do this natively in the custom URL plugin? Here's the wepage that opens in the custom url plugin: http://januwh.blogspot.com/p/homeworkassignments.html Thanks.

No, I didn't try the pdf plugin because the pdf is actually from a link on a webpage. I'm not sure the pdf plugin will open a url.

The URL for the 1st pdf looks like https://docs.google.com/file/d/0ByPsQu8_S4eQZm96RjJqTXg2X00/edit Try it in the pdf plugin and see what happens?
