Any luck viewing embedded PDFs with Safari?

While it's widely known that Box's iFrame widget is not great, probably the biggest issue I have is that the widget will not display a PDF when viewing in Safari (MacOS desktop). This may be entirely Apple's fault, who knows.

Chrome works fine.

Has anyone had any luck getting iFramed PDFs placed on a web page to display in Safari? If so, how?

 

Examples:

 

Chrome does fine showing these 5 PDFs:

Safari (just gray boxes):
