This module allows PDF files to be displayed directly in the browser using the pdf.js library, either as a primary display method or as a fallback for users without a PDF plugin. It can be used to build online libraries.
Use HTML5 to display PDF files if users don't have pdf plugin for their browsers.
Thanks to pdf.js project by Mozilla.
With this module you can use pdf.js to display PDF file all the time or only use pdf.js when visitors don't have pdf reader plugin.
