If you want to show a PDF along with other things in the browser, you'll need to use a frameset or iframe tag so you can "embed" the PDF inside some other HTML. Then all you need to do is point the source of the frame at the PDF file and let the browser take care of the rest (loading the PDF reader inside that frame if there is a suitable method).
