I just landed a big contract that includes embedding PDF pages on html pages. I found this question and answer straight away: Recommended way to embed PDF in HTML?
My question is this, is the answer given still the best way to embed a PDF, give that 4 years have passed since it was asked, or is there a newer way to do it?
This seems by far the simplest solution to plant a PDF in the middle of a page, but I could be wrong: http://pdfobject.com/

Check out the XPDF library http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf/. You can also take a look at Poppler http://poppler.freedesktop.org/.
Long story short, you could use the pdftohtml command found in Poppler to generate page-fidelity images of the pdf you’re trying to embed. If you want to have page-fidelity HTML versions of the PDF, well… that’s an entirely different can of worms. 🙂
Good luck!
