You can add an Image control to your report and then choose "Dynamic Image" as the image type from the available radio buttons. From there click the "Select Image Data" button and choose the field in your data set containing the image data.

That should do it. Your image will be rendered at run-time for you.

You are going to have a hard time with that because it generally spawns an external viewer to see the content. This is why PDFs are generally viewed as stand-alone entities inside a browser. Do you want to view the PDF content as part of a larger HTML context? If so you may have to use an iFrame and embed the whole viewer.
