I have Netscape Navigator 4.01 on my system here. And it displays Acrobat
files.
Granted, it isn't displaying them as a plug-in, but it does work. The
difference is that the document appears in a separate Acrobat window, not
the Navigator window. But PDF is a viable file format even if the reader is
using an older version of Navigator.
Whether it is a good idea to provide a particular document in that format is
another question altogether.
