Please take a look at this link
(If you type docs.google.com, the website prompts you to download the app.) Tap the thumbnail image of any document to open and view it. After you open a document, you can print it or email it. PDF Viewing is now available directly in Google Drive. For environments where this cannot be deployed, Google PDF Viewer offers the same capabilities in a standalone app. View, print, search and copy text from pdf documents while you're on the go.
The last icon on google viewer's toolbar - enables user to view on new browser window and download PDF. The question is, how can I make it view only and disable download (At least disable this toolbar item). Is that possible with google viewer? or is there any other viewer that works like Google Viewer but view-only?

You can host your PDF files on Google Docs and prevent viewer downloads. To do this do followings:
Also note, since you can only prevent downloading of documents created by you, click ‘Owned by Me’ option on left side. This will display document created and owned by you. Then you can disable and prevent document downloading option for files on display.
Then you can just share this PDF on your website. IT will be view only. The code will look like that:

This technique will still allow the user to 'make a copy' and with ownership this brings they can then download as they please. Not tested this, but I'm pretty sure I'm right..

Download realtek wireless network adapter. I think there used to be a way to link to the PDF version of a Google Docs, but now I can only make a link that downloads the PDF instead of viewing it in the browser. Download mac os 10.4 ppc. Does anybody know if the old technique is still supported? I found several discussions in the Google support forum, but nothing definitive. The Google Docs API only lists the download method, so I suspect I'm out of luck.
Just to be clear, I want to link to a PDF file that gets automatically updated whenever the Google Docs changes.

Replace the beginning of the url with the Google Docs viewer.
This is what you need:
https://docs.google.com/viewer?url=https://docs.google.com/x/yyyy/document/z/nvjsinmsdfjnlsnlkkn-hslknl1_V7sc /export?format=pdfserenesat

You can do it by using the Export as PDF tool like this:
Your document link (example):
https://docs.google.com/x/yyyy/document/z/nvjsinmsdfjnlsnlkkn-hslknl1_V7sc /edit
Change the end of link from
/edit to /export?format=pdf
https://docs.google.com/x/yyyy/document/z/nvjsinmsdfjnlsnlkkn-hslknl1_V7sc /export?format=pdf
However this needs Sharing setting to be modified Anyone who has the link can view
It works with:

After you click on the PDF, you will notice a Share link on the top-left corner. Select Sharing Settings option from the menu & change the settings to 'Public on the web' or 'Anyone with the link' instead of the default which is Private.
When you share that link, others can view it within the browser without having to download the PDF

https://onlzfb.weebly.com/aaliyah-for-mac.html. It took me a lot of struggle and the very helpful comment by @Quinn Comendant to figure this one out.
The url needs to end with:
/export?format=pdf&attachment=false
example: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PjO5dM4KQLWBFU2IzBE5gINwFU13ub9uvVRywk2Hx_s/export?format=pdf&attachment=false
