I agree to the fact that HTML approach is the best. I normally use Google docs
they can open any documents - pdfs, word, excel, images etc like any other html
document. See the link:

It is just a sample page I have created for demonstration purposes with
inadvertent typos!. It is just a simple pdf file but displayed in your browser
and requires no plugs of any kind.
