The default way:

<iframe src="xxx.pdf">
</iframe>

However, you should keep in your mind few things:
1. Not all browser versions allow online viewing of PDF files. Firefox, for instance, requires installation of Adobe Reader plug-in first.
2. Some download applications automatically grabs the PDF file and starts downloading it.
3. HTML is not very flexible. You should consider other techniques.
