Hi,

it's like google doing it with attachments in GMail. Render your PDF to a JPEG image and show only the image to users.
i.e. with this PDF-Library you're able to render PDF's to images (and other file formats)

Thank you Zoltan, in my opinion a little bit dirty, but as you said, the only working solution I also know ;) Regards
