I want a Drupal Module who let to the Adminintrator to upload pdf files and the users to read them in a viewer with a Toolbar that contains print, download and quit boutons like the calameo website.
The possibility to have statistics on user's Toolbar actions will be appreciated.
Have you tried searching the existing projects? iPaper seems to be one way.
I recently saw http://drupal.org/project/pageflip as well (no release, but the demo looks good)
PDF and HTML are fundamentally different technologies, so an HTML tool for navigating PDF will not work for you. You'll always need either browser plugins or Flash applications. iPaper and Calamio use Flash.
You'll have to either code or sponsor or find an open version of such a tool if you want to replicate the work that those services have already done. There are probably some free ones out there, I've seen the exercise an an example for Flash developers before. Probably worth spending a few bucks for a professional license though, it's a tricky job to do well.
Although not technically a PDF viewer, pdf_to_imagefield + a gallery viewer would give similar results, maybe. It would lack most of the PDF features (like selectable text) however.
