Javascript Net PDF Viewer

When trying to view PDF files on the internet, you have a very limited number of choices.  The obvious one is to let the user handle viewing PDFs with something like Adobe Acrobat Reader.  However, some users don’t have Acrobat installed.  Or the file gets downloaded instead.  If you want an easy way to view PDF files online though, look no further than Google Docs.

The Google Docs Javascript PDF Viewer will embed the same javascript pdf viewer that Google Docs uses right in to your page via an IFrame.  It’s really that easy.  It even allows for searching of documents (which is quite handy!).  If this sounds like what you’re looking for, the link is below.
