How to embed a PDF document into HTML web page

PDF the Portable Document Format, although created by Adobe in the early 90's is now an open standard ISO format for documents.
It's a great way of converting propriety documents (excel, word etc.) into a easily viewable/exchangable format.

Putting PDFs into web pages is increasing popular - you can view documents as they should appear with images and text formatted as the author intended.

So.. how do you embed a pdf into a web page?

The simple way is to use the <object> element.
This assumes that the web browser has a PDF plugin - if not you can add a message to allow a direct download of the PDF instead.

<object data="filename.pdf" type="application/pdf" width="100%" height="100%">
  <p>Your web browser doesn't have a PDF plugin.
  Instead you can <a href="filename.pdf">click here to
  download the PDF file.</a></p>
</object>

You can then style the div that this object goes in so that it fits with the size and layout of your website.
