  • Wouldn't it be easier to just supply the PDF as a download and let the browser launch the Acrobat reader (if installed)? Can you tell us more about what you are trying to achieve, there may be a better solution than an embedded PDF viewer (which is still going to need downloading and/or installing). – Lazarus Apr 23 '09 at 11:47

Flex Paper -- http://flexpaper.devaldi.com/

As of 6/29/2011 there is a GPLv3 version with logo, and a Commercial version. It can run stand-alone, or be downloaded as a SWC library to embed in your own Flex application.

  • Flexpaper works great. You can customize the controls, It has a beautiful output and yes, if you put some tricks on, you can mix the flipboard and imagemagick to create any flip pages you want. – acpmasquerade Oct 16 '11 at 14:37

Scribd has their own proprietary Flash PDF Viewer called iPaper. The commercial product from Adobe is called FlashPaper. There are no free alternatives to that. So embedding is your closest option.

The embed tag is very simple:

<embed src="MyPdfDocument.pdf" width="500" height="375" />

Here's an example of how that looks.

What about www.embedit.in ?

I know it is a bit late, but this can be useful for people that come here from searches. ZViewer is a pdf file viewer based on swftools: http://swfviewer.blogspot.com/

I've http://issuu.com/ which looks like just the ticket for what you're after

The best feature (for my project) is that it loads the PDFs 5 pages at a time, so getting the flash reader to try to display a 30Mb 200 page PDF won't mean loads of bandwidth
