An easy way is to click Alt button.
If you want to temporary disable IDM for single download you may hold Alt button while clicking on the download link to prevent IDM from taking the download.

Press Ctrl + Alt (don't remove your finger from any of the keys) and then click on PDF file link, it will open your PDF in a separate tab.
