Most modern browsers like Firefox, Chrome and Edge have built-in plugins for displaying PDF files. With these browsers, you will probably be able to provide the file to the browser from your server and it will be displayed to the user.
If you want to display the PDF files using some control in your project, I recommend using a toolkit that has controls for loading PDF. You could do that if you don't want to rely on the default behavior of the browser, or if you want to use a browser that doesn't have support for PDF.
