PDFs / Docs in mobile browsers

Not all mobile browsers posses native support for PDF, DOC and other formats. But, by leveraging Google's Document Viewer, you're able to present these files to mobile users. For example:

http://docs.google.com/viewer?url=www.mysite.com/brochure.pdf

Note the lack of the "http://" protocol specifier in the URL. For some reason, if you include this, Google's Viewer will report back a permissions issue and fail to show the document.
