This is strictly not programming related. You need a Pdf reader on the client to be able to view Pdf documents.
Follow the links and install. There should be plugins to read Pdf documents for all known browsers.
On the other hand. If you want to convert your Pdf documents to html text you could check out Pdf to Html

Maybe you could ask that as a separate question instead:) You could also just use a standard pdf/image icon for the html and use a descriptive text.

I am not sure whether this helps or not. But take a look at this

Just add a link to the Adobe Reader download page below the links to your PDFs, and a message to tell users to download Reader if they don't have it.

You can take a look at this article:
ASP.NET PDF Viewer User Control Without Acrobat Reader Installed on Client or Server
There's a GoogleCode page for it with a fair amount of activity.
I haven't tried the code but might for an upcoming project. No word in the article regarding browser compatibility.
