mikejuk writes "PDF can be thought of as the web's second document format — after HTML of course. However unlike HTML you need a plugin to render PDF in a web page. A group at Mozilla is working on direct rendering of PDF documents using nothing but JavaScript and HTML5. There are plans to integrate it into Firefox so this could be the end of the Adobe plugin — well for PDFs at least"
