> The problem is that a web browser cannot display a PDF document
> directly. The main language of the web is HTML, not PDF.
>
> This meant that - until now - reading a PDF document triggers either a
> browser add-on that takes over the web page behind the scenes, or a
> downloaded file which opens in a separate window.
>
> The latest version of the software - Adobe Acrobat X - attempts to solve
> those problems.

> Now, when someone open a PDF page in a web browser, it will no longer
> show its own menu and toolbar: just the content, with a floating
> controller for navigating pages. </snip>
