It may not be the best solution, but you can build an html page that
contains the pdf file and the button, using an iframe that is sized and
positioned properly the end result really does not look too different and it
can contains the button you (they) are looking for.  The link then would be
to the html doc that contains the pdf file.  I set up a small sample from
combinations of things I had before (I did use the Close Window and not the
back button for this)
Here is the sample if you like:
