Yes, although you need to do some extra stuff to cut the .pdf to some 
size smaller
than a page. In the attached example, the .ps is a specially small-sized 
.eps, from
which I generated the .pdf. If the document is several pages, it 
displays the pages,
superposed to one each other, or either it freezes or crashes, if your 
.pdf is too
much complex for the current state of advancement of the converters. 
Note: you
can adjust the dimensions of the displayed .pdf by means of tuning the 
parameters
of the <postscript|...> tag.
