@SamPlusPlus: Much has changed since the question you cite was asked three years ago. For example, it was asked before pdf.js was released and no answers mention it. pdf.js is definitely the library of choice for this task. The following question cites it, as well as some of the other libraries I mentioned: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3539879/open-source-javascript-pdf-viewer – buley Jan 05 '12 at 23:03

The best bet for JavaScript is pdf.js (github here). It's backed by Mozilla, which means it's going to stay open and has great browser support.
That said, there's also trapeze, wps, flexpaper and of course Google Docs and Scribd.

My favorite solution for this is to use Googles PDF viewer. It can be found at https://docs.google.com/viewer. It will give multiple options for embedding.
