Scribd already has it, except show is called slurp.

I just looked it up, but it doesn't seem to be quite the same thing? At least slurp seems to involve uploading the document to Scribd, which might really be a copyright problem.
I meant a way to use scribd as a PDF reader directly.

Perhaps it would be useful for other people who want to link to the PDF, though.
Here's some info on slurp:
