PDF.js

Built using HTML5 canvas, SVG and a dash of JavaScript code, the reader can render PDF files described by the ISO 32000-1:2008 Portable Document Format (PDF) standard.

The author meant for this reader to work without any external code assistance, so the user won't have to use PDF plugins for viewing a document.
