I'm embedding pdf files using something like this:
It works but I want to set the pdf width to match the width of the containing div. Currently it shows up like an iframe with scrollbars, so to view the entire pdf, you have to scroll right to left. I want the pdf to fit the width of the container.
How do I fix this? I'm supporting IE8 and up.
Here is a jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/s_d_p/KTkcj/

If you're using Bootstrap 3, you can use the embed-responsive class and set the padding bottom as the height divided by the width plus a little extra for toolbars. For example, to display an 8.5 by 11 PDF, use 130% (11/8.5) plus a little extra (20%).
Here's the Bootstrap CSS:

I did that mistake once - embedding PDF files in HTML pages. I will suggest that you use a JavaScript library for displaying the content of the PDF. Like https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/

Chrome has its own PDF reader & all parameter don't work on chrome. Mozilla is worst for handling PDFs.

I am embedding a local pdf file into a simple webpage and I am looking to set the initial zoom to fit to the object size. Here is what I tried but it is not affecting the zoom.
does anyone know how to modify the code so its initial zoom is set to fit the object size.

Bit of a late response but I noticed that this information can be hard to find and haven't found the answer on SO, so here it is.
Try a differnt parameter #view=FitH to force it to fit in the horzontal space and also you need to start the querystring off with a # rather than an & making it:
What I've noticed it is that this will work if adobe reader is embedded in the browser but chrome will use it's own version of the reader and won't respond in the same way. In my own case, the chrome browser zoomed to fit width by default, so no problem , but Internet Explorer needed the above parameters to ensure the link always opened the pdf page with the correct view setting.
For a full list of available parameters see this doc

This method uses 'object', it also has 'embed'. Either method works:

Bit late response to this question, however I do have something to add that might be useful for others.
If you make use of an iFrame and set the pdf file path to the src, it will load zoomed out to 100%, which the equivalence of FitH
