Sorry, I don't use Gmail so I'm not quite sure what you're referring to. Are you referring to modals?? If so, Twitter Bootstrap has modal JS built in.

Yes, just put an iframe into a modal. Web browsers can render PDFs already.

Or embed as an object into your pages with an iframe and a download link as fallbacks. 

<object data="/pdf/your-pdf.pdf" type="application/pdf" width="100%" height="100%">
<iframe src="/pdf/your-pdf.pdf" width="100%" height="100%" style="border: none;">
This browser does not support PDFs. Please download the PDF to view it: <a href="/pdf/your-pdf.pdf">Download PDF</a>
</iframe>
</object>

There is also JavaScript PDFObject library with loads of options.
