Your PDF document should have Title metadata set. Afterwards, browser will use it for rendering tab title.

So you have PDF and you want to serve it through browser, right? To achieve title appearing in tab, you should edit the PDF and set the `title` metadata. – Tigran Tokmajyan Dec 26 '14 at 13:41

In Acrobat Pro, open the PDF and select File -> Properties -> Description and then edit the meta data title (and others if required) as you see fit.

We only saw the title being displayed like this in Firefox.

Put it in a div inside a page and change the page title like this:

<head>
  <title>YOUR TAB TITLE</title>
</head>

and then:

<div>
<object data="test.pdf" type="application/pdf" 
width="300" height="200">
    alt : <a href="test.pdf">test.pdf</a>
   </object>
</div>

You can also set the object width and height to match the page.

For changing PDF tab title in browser, you need to update "title" in property.

If you have PDF editor you can do it easily. Else it is not editable.

You can use any of the tool online to edit the title.
I did it using below link.
