Why not just load the pdf into a dummy page? I doubt that the reader plugin
will or ever could satisfactorily fit into some little block level element
in a small area of a webpage somewhere, but it's worth a try. Pdf's
generally  require way better resolution than any average webpage to be
rendered satisfactorily.
