I think you need to add "file://" at the beginning of the url which is missing in that tutorial.

Try this slightly modified mouseup script from the example mentioned above:
...............................................
on mouseUp
    local tFile

    answer file "Please choose the file you would like to display" with type "PDF document|pdf|PDF"
    if it is not empty then
        put it into tFile

      ##!!!
      replace " " with "%20" in tFile
      put "file://" before tFile
      ## !!!

        browserSetURL tFile
    end if
end mouseUp
........................................................
Tested on my Mac and works :-)
