Embeddable Google Document Viewer
Say you want to make things on your web page simple, so someone who might not have a PDF viewer installed on their computer (even though most people do have Adobe Acrobat Reader or an equivalent viewer like Foxit - and they are free) still be able to view a PDF file. You can use the code on this page to embed the PDF file on your web site in Google Document Viewer. If you want to print the PDF file, click on the button to enlarge to full-screen and there is a print option.
Oh, and you can also use this to display PowerPoint presentation files on web pages!
