Answer 1

Hi Searock,

I think you would have to convert the pdf's to something a browser without acrobat reader could display.

Try Dynamic PDF Rasterizer for .NET.

Answer 2

Do you mean allow viewing PDFs on clients without a PDF reader plug-in installed?

I'm researching a related topic and come across this same question asked and answered here on SO:

PDF viewer on the .net
