It would be really useful to have a pdf viewer which gives much functionalities like high lighting and underlining the text,particularly for ebooks and other magazines.Pdf readers like Evince,Kpdf, Adobe acrobat reader, xpdf, Sumatra lack these facilities.it would be handy,to mark some text while reading them. Acrobat professional and Nitro pdf are not free though these have the functionalities.
Finally I found PDF-Xchange viewer. It has the capability to underline, highlight the text and to do many more . It is a free software for Windows users.You can easily use it for linux through wine application in linux.There is another pdf viewer called PDFedit,which is an open source application,which handles these functionalities very easily.

Open Pdf,Doc,Docx files inside Same Browser Window using PHP
June 14, 2009 by 11 Comments
We usually try to include various types of files like pictures,documents,pdf files etc.For the picture files,you can directly upload the file to site and embed in your blog using <img> tag.
For word document files(.doc files),
you would need a Browser Plugin to do this .This will be really helpful for those who have no MICROSOFT OFFICE installed in their system or without a valid license.
For word document files(.docx files),
There is a new Firefox plugin that allows you to open any docx file without any other software like MICROSOFT OFFICE 2007. Using this plugin, you can view docx file in original format and it is available for both Windows and Linux.
For Adobe pdf files(.pdf files),
Suppose,you have a online .PDF document and when a user clicks the link, you want it to open in the same window.Then include the following php code
<iframe id="myFrame" style="display:none" width="500" height="300"></iframe>
<input type="button" value="Open PDF" onclick = "openPdf()"/>
<script type="text/javascript">
function openPdf()
{
var omyFrame = document.getElementById("myFrame");
omyFrame.style.display="block";
omyFrame.src = "myFile.pdf";
}
</script>
You can do the same with asp.net with following piece of code
protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Response.Clear();
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition","inline;filename=myfile.pdf");
Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
Response.WriteFile("~/Hello.pdf");
Response.End();
}
Remember to add head to the Response stream and set inline to display the pdf file in the browser.
