I found a workaround, this is obviously a flaw in version 7 -

I don't think many people are using FM as a PDF database available for browsing/downloading online. If there is anyone currently using FM in the manner, please let me know if you have a better solution.

After importing a folder of PDF’s, only Thumbnails of PDF's will show up online - I had to create a container field for thumbnails & a container field for PDF’s then manually 'insert file' instead of 'insert picture' in the PDF field in order for a PDF LINK to show up online. See attached screen grab for example. Hopefully version 8 will have better online PDF handling, as this was pretty inconvenient to re-create…

I am able to view JPGs that are referenced from containers over the web, but when I try to reference PDFs in the same way, I will get a blank box with a little red x on the top left. I can download the JPGs off the web without a problem, but am unable to view or download referenced PDFs.
