Are there any best practices for integrating PDF files into a website without requiring a PDF reader?

When integrating PDF files into a website without requiring a PDF reader, one option is to convert the PDF files to images and display them on the website. This way, users can view the content without needing a PDF reader plugin or software.

// Path to the PDF file
$pdfFile = 'path/to/your/file.pdf';

// Convert PDF to image using ImageMagick
$im = new Imagick();
$im->setResolution(300, 300);
$im->readImage($pdfFile . '[0]'); // Convert first page of PDF
$im->setImageFormat('jpg');

// Display the image on the website
header('Content-Type: image/jpeg');
echo $im;
