Yes you *can* in an object element but the real question is *should*
you. I would say no, because PDFs are significantly larger then their
HTML counterparts. It would be as bad as having a HUGE image on your
page...either use HTML or just link to the PDF and give a reference to
the size of the file for users...

<a href="some.pdf">Some PDF Document (350Kb)</a>

Take care,
