Show PDF Inline

Summary

We want to be able to show PDFs inline in the browser on at least the majority of the platforms we support, and be able to wrap our own UI around it to support things like viewing and saving to disk, etc.

Goal: Make viewing of PDF in the web browser as painless as possible.
