I've been sitting on this for a while now hoping for a secure PDF viewer from Microsoft.  Aparently there is no fix to open PDFs in the browser coming anytime soon, so I'll share a way to display PDFs from O365 even though Browser File Handling is set to Strict. 

My hope is that folks will find this method useful but more importantly, that MS will improve communication around it's plans (or lack thereof) to address this issue and speed up development of a secure PDF viewer.  It's my understanding that one such silverlight viewer exists like on docs.com so perhaps it will be added to O365 very soon.

This is not a complete solution yet, but it works.
