Searching a solution for a problem very similar to yours, I found an interesting thread on forum.asp.net. http://forums.asp.net/t/1877403.aspx?Issue+with+embedded+pdf+object+in+chrome+browsers

At the end of the page, there is a workaround by a user working smoothly in Chrome. That seems to solve the problem.

Here it is an example:

<iframe src="/Downloads/MyPdfDocument.pdf#view=fitH" width="700"  height="880"></iframe>

For users fighting with http://pdfobject.com/ -> "pdfobject.js" like me, you can change few lines of code on both minified and develop version of pdfobject.

Find:

c.innerHTML='<object    data="'+a+'" type="application/pdf" width="'+i+'" height="'+z+'"></object>';return c.getElementsByTagName("object")[0];

and change with this line of code:

c.innerHTML='<iframe src="'+a+'" width="'+i+'" height="'+z+'"></iframe>';return c.getElementsByTagName("iframe")[0];

Hope this helps.
