You could convert the pdf to whatever (eg: html) and send that to the client...

Put simply: the client will recieve a http response, that says content-type: application/x-pdf (or something like that). And then the http user-agent (usually a webbrowser) will lookup an application that is capable of handling that type of data... So if the client has installed something different to handle the pdf, he will not need adobe pdf-reader.
