How to Open a PDF File in HTML

Portable Document Format (PDF) documents are great for online viewing. Since they are cross-platform and preserve the information and appearance of the source file, PDFs are commonly used to present information on the Internet. However, the ability to view a PDF document online does depend on the user having a PDF viewer on his computer. While Adobe Reader is free, perhaps you are on a shared computer that doesn't have it. Adobe itself offers a solution to this.
