Link to open PDF file from SSRS Report

Hi Experts,

I need to create a link on  SSRS report and when clicked opens a separate PDF/docx file.These PDF/docx files already exist and are generated by third party tool using C# in Silverlight application and we are inserting  these docx/pdf files into sql server database table.

Ex:
Fields for the doc table

ID                                      int
NAME1                              varchar(50)
NAME2                              varchar(50)
NAME3                              varchar(50)
Report Type                       varchar(50)
Report Doc                        varbinary(max)

Please let me know the steps involved from SSRS perspective and How can I generate document (doc/pdf ) back from binary data ?

Thanks in advance
