For a lot of applications, showing a pdf on a web page is a pretty standard requirement.

Usually the following approaches for showing the pdf are considered: · Render the PDF document directly on the page · Let users download the PDF document · User iframes to embed the PDF document in the part of your web page and rest of the space is used by other content.

These are the cons associated with these approaches: · User loses context of the site he was browsing · User is navigated away from your web page · Only after downloading the entire complete document, user can start viewing it · It is not possible for the user to view only parts of the document quickly. · If the document is very big, this would mean a significant waiting time · Special browser plug-in is required to view the PDF directly in the browser. · Host website has to let user download the PDF. May be the host website wanted users to read the PDF document but not download it. Because once the PDF document is downloaded, thousands of copies can be made and distributed.

The do-pdf library is the solution to all of the above problems. do-pdf enables users to embed a PDF viewer directly in the browser. It will integrate seamlessly on the web page where the viewer is embedded.
