There are many people who are struggling for showing PDF file in there wordpress post. Please use following steps for showing the PDF.
1) Go to media -> Add New, upload a file. Once file is uploaded, you will get File URL. Copy that file URL. (Let me call it MY_PDF_URL)
This will be a complete URL, with http://yourdomain.com in it..
2) Now, go to add new post and switch to html editor. Place this code where you want to show the pdf file….
<embed src="MY_PDF_URL" width="600" height="400">
This will work smoothly. OR you can use following code as well.
<iframe src="http://docs.google.com/gview?url=http://wordpressapi.com/wp-content/uploads/yourpdf.pdf&embedded=true" style="width:880px; height:1200px;" frameborder="0"></iframe>
