A minor point: you don't need to escape colons and slashes in a query string, so this URL works fine: http://docs.google.com/viewer?url=http://labs.google.com/papers/bigtable-osdi06.pdf Most browsers support PDF viewing, either directly or via a plugin. Safari (at least on Macs) also supports PDF as an image format, embedded with the <img> tag.
