I use Google Docs embeddable PDF viewer  The docs don t have to be uploaded to Google Docs  but they do have to be available online    lt iframe src  https   docs google com gview url https   path com to your pdf pdf amp embedded true  style  width 600px  height 500px   frameborder  0  gt  lt  iframe gt

In html page for pc is easy to implement   lt embed src  study sample pdf  type  application pdf    height  300px  width  100   gt    but pdf show in mobile by this code is not possible you must need a plugin   if you have not responsive your site  Then above code pdf not show in mobile but you can put download option after the code    lt embed src  study sample pdf  type  application pdf    height  300px  width  100   class  responsive  gt   lt a href  study sample pdf  gt download lt  a gt

You can use  lt iframe src  quot your pdf file path quot  height  quot 100  quot  width  quot 100  quot  scrolling  quot auto quot  gt  lt  iframe gt   Or  if you want to make it take up the whole page   lt a href  quot your pdf file path quot  gt Link lt  a gt

The simplest way is to use    lt iframe src  pdf-link  gt   lt  iframe gt    and if its still getting downloaded instead of viewing  check the server response header  it should have  Content-Disposition Inline and not  Content-Disposition Attachment

I understand you want to display using HTMl but you can also open the PDF file using php by pointing out the path and the browser will render it in a few simple steps  lt  php  your file name    quot url here quot      Content type and this case its a PDF header  quot Content-type  application pdf quot     header  quot Content-Length   quot    filesize  your file name         Display the file readfile  your file name      gt
