Solution 1

Don't create your own pdf viewer. Users just need the Adobe Reader plug in installed on their browser. If you create a custom solution, you would end up breaking the user's default file associations and thus cause them issues when they want to browse pdfs from other sites.

Thanks for the reply.

But, in that solution, the control used for displaying pdf is iframe.

By using iframe, all the options that we required for our project are not displayed.
