Well, I thought I was being clever by adding a neat little script into my web pages which detects whether the user has a PDF viewer installed. If they don't they simply get forwarded to Google Docs to view the PDF on there. Thing is, Google Docs appears to be absolute crap - when you open a PDF on there it's all blurred and rubbish. Can anyone recommend a better alternative?

Anything I try displays properly 
It can take a few seconds to render it again at the new zoom level but it's not blurred after that.

Not sure if it's the quality of the original PDF's, which are probably a bit poor...

I see what you mean on that one.
The text is the same on both but the background is much lower quality in google docs.

It looks ok to me - lower res on google docs but that's normal
If you click view then fit to screen and wait a few secs - much better

Seems that it's the images that are letting it down, possibly due to the file being made in Word. I might offer to re-design the brochures while I'm at it.
On a closer look, at least the text is rendering ok...
