Embedding a .pdf document

I am converting an HTML web site to WordPress. On one page we have an archive of our club newsletter with the latest issue embedded in the page and links to the last year’s issues. I have tried using the embed code[embed] http://www.rotaryclubsbnorth.org/bulletins/2015/150610 [/embed] and it only places a link on the page, not the document as it does on the web page. Is there some reason this can’t work?
You can see the desired operation at http://www.rotaryclubsbnorth.org/newsletter.htm and the WordPress site at http://www.rotaryclubsbnorth.org/wp/newsletter.
