Yep. That's presumably why pdf links on here have that [scribd] link next to them.

It would be nice if HN could at least add a link to the raw PDF.

I wonder if PG even uses scribd himself?

For me the builtin PDF-Viewer in chrome works perfectly fine whereas scribd is a terrible experience.

Actually in this case it was the Scribd URL that was submitted. If a URL pointing to a PDF had been submitted, then the title text would link to the raw PDF and the appended '[scribd]' text would link to the Scribd version of it.
