It's just a convenience link for viewing the PDF on scribd rather than downloading / using a plugin.
How is that convenience? Scribd doesn't work (for me) at all because I don't have Flash installed. On other machines, it takes forever to load a page with a whole pile of static Flash embeds, each of which is a sand-trap for my scroll wheel.
But it's a direct link to a pdf, not to the scribd page.
There is a separate link inside the [scribd] tag.
