People who say that puzzle me.

A web server that does page-serving (e.g. Apachee) will display the first 
page of the PDF very quickly, while continuing to load other pages in the 
background. If you jump to a page out of order it will quickly load that 
page and continue loading other pages in the background. This makes 
browsing a PDF almost as fast as browsing HTML pages.

In contrast, viewing in a separate browser makes you wait for the entire 
PDF file to download before you see anything. How is that better?
