There is no Adobe Reader plugin from Adobe on Android. The site would need to offer a download option for the PDF so that you can view it with a PDF app.

1. If It is a Firefox browser in android phone, you can download your PDF and open the PDF via adobe reader Link for play store Link (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.adobe.reader). 2. You can directly view the PDF from Firefox browser by installing Firefox plugin form following link https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/pdfjs/ P.S: The firefox plugin is now discontinued. but sill you can find many more plugins in BROWSER MENU>TOOLS>ADD-ONS>BROWSE ALL FIREFOX ADD-ONS> SEARCH FOR PDF VIEWERS
