Quite amazing: PDF.js is a JavaScript library that displays PDFs in browsers. At version 0.2, it comes with the requisite warning: “Note: This is an early-stage prototype. Several documents might not render properly.”
  • Try it out online, in any browser.
  • Install a Firefox add-on that uses PDF.js to display PDF files you come across on the web. It automatically stays current via Firefox auto-update.
  • PDF.js on GitHub.

 

The PDF.js Firefox add-on displays a PDF file on the web.
