How to read PDf files in web browsers without having Acrobat reader installed on the System?

I need to read pdf files in web browsers. My client does not want to install Acrobat reader in his system. Also I have seen another alternative Flex Paper. But as it is paid my client does not want to proceed. So is there any other alternative which can be handled from linux server end itself?

Thanks,

Do you need to automate this process or do you mind a little manual work?

One thing you could use is a free online PDF to Flash convertor.

Another thing is to use GhostScript to convert the PDF to something else like a JPG or PNG. I think GS is available for most Linux distros.
