My requirement is, on click of a button, a pdf file should be displayed on dialog modal. Please Help!
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>Bootstrap Example</title>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

</head>
<body>
<div class="container">
<h2>View PDF</h2>
<!-- Trigger the modal with a button -->
<button type="button" href="A - Cover Page.pdf" class="btn btn-info btn-lg" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#myModal">A - Cover Page</button>
<!-- Modal -->
<div class="modal fade" id="myModal" role="dialog">

You can also embed the pdf inside the modal. Like this:
<embed src="sample.pdf" frameborder="0" width="100%" height="400px">
That worked for me

Sorry to disappoint you but one cannot just show the pdf inside a modal by default. It is not an intended behavior. Even using <iframe>, you cannot render the pdf inside the bootstrap modal. Also most of the hacks provided online does not support cross-browser. The more ideal way is to use plugins for the same and I will give you the links for few using which you can achieve what you want.
1) Checkout PDFObject JS,
<script src="https://github.com/pipwerks/PDFObject/blob/master/pdfobject.min.js"></script>
PDFObject embeds PDF files into HTML documents. Link.
2) Easy Modal Plugin for Bootstrap. Demo Snippet and Website
3) Using jQuery Dialog Modal Popup Window. Demo.
Hope it helped.
