[Mediawiki-l] embedded pdf documents

I wish there was a nice and pretty way to embed a PDF document into the body
of the wiki article. I was able to do it eventually by setting the
$wgRawHtml = true. Then I could use <html><embed src="..."></embed></html>.
It worked, but is kind of clunky, plus it warns about security issues.

Has anyone seen yet an extension to do this? I Imagine maybe a div tag or
even a floating layer (confined by the wiki article box, of course). I would
like to have part of an article have text/analysis while being able to see
the PDF original source of the information side by side. I know it's asking
a lot, but hey - it seems nothing is impossible these days, just difficult.
