Embded PDF's

So I am trying to embed a PDF onto a page and it will just not work. For instance, I go into the HTML editor and directly add "<embed src="study/sample.pdf" type="application/pdf" height="300px" width="100%">". For some reason when I hit save it gets changed to "<p><object width="100%" height="300px" data="study/sample.pdf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="src" value="study/sample.pdf" /></object></p>".

I'm unsure as to why it is being changed to "application/x-shockwave-flash". I have application/pdf set in my mime.types. What am I missing? Do I not have an appropriate PDF viewer, so it's defaulting to shockwave? What can I do to fix this issue.
