Luckily, there now exists such a tool, PDF.js, created by Mozilla Labs, which can render PDF documents in your browser. You can use browser’s native PDF rendering capability by using the embed tag, but since you don’t have programmatic access you can’t control the rendering phase to suit your needs. Imagine that because of some business rule in your web app, you wanted to disable the Print button, or display only few pages while others require paid membership.
But, that native component is outside of the developer’s control. When it comes to the Web, almost every modern browser supports viewing of PDF documents natively.
