Open PDFs without downloading #10

Downloading PDFs, especially large ones, is a huge bottleneck in Kafka's user experience. We can use an embedded reader like that from Google doc or even archive.org's own PDF viewer.

Most embedded readers will limit our control over the reading experience. Archive reader allows options to set page number and single page attributes but it's not full screen immersive experience. Overall, it's still a win in my opinion if users don't have to wait a few minutes (or sometime hours) to open a PDF.
