Embed an iframe inside a div pointing to Google Doc Viewer and specifying the PDF file you want to display. This is the code you should add:

HTML

<iframe src="http://docs.google.com/gview?url=http://infolab.stanford.edu/pub/papers/google.pdf&embedded=true" style="width:600px; height:500px;" frameborder="0"></iframe>

Then you just need to set up your own document file to the "url" query string param and that's it! You can display not just PDF but any other file supported by the viewer like doc, xls, etc.

how to get pdf file from loacal directory

Create a Generic Handler (ashx file) called DisplayPdf.ashx then pass a param to it identifying your file. the url param for the Google Doc Viewer should look like this:
url=http://yourwebsite/DisplayPdf.ashx?id=123

Then in the handler (under ProcessRequest) just read the PDF from your local disk by using the id param i.e. something like this:

//get the id from the URL param
string myId = context.Request["id"];

//validate id and if success....
context.Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
context.Response.BinaryWrite(System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes("c:\temp\yourfile.pdf"));
