I wonder if this is not the same issue I once had with Internet Explorer.

Even with the latest IE 11, if the url doesn't end with the extension .pdf (which was the case with my MVC app: the url was like /File/Download/4587), then IE plug-in could not render the PDF file. Same issue with <embed>.

I tried the iframe solution, but on some computers the document opened up in a new window.

In the end, the solution I implemented was to convert each page of the PDF document into an image with GhostscriptSharp, and then to render the document online as images in an HTML page (with navigation controls to go to first/previous/next/last page).

I Found a solution.

I used iframe to render pdf in safari

 if (Request.Browser.Type.Contains("Safari"))
                    {
        <iframe src="@Model.StringPdfUrl" height="750" width="600" frameborder="0" id="myiframe" ></iframe>
                    }
                    else
                    {
        <object height="750" width="600" data="@Model.StringPdfUrl" type="application/pdf">
            <embed src="@Model.StringPdfUrl" type="application/pdf" />
        </object> 
                    }
