Here’s a simple example that reproduces the problem on Edge 38.14393.0.0, EdgeHTML 14.14393:

Plunkr

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <script data-require="jquery@*" data-semver="3.0.0" src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.0.0/jquery.js"></script>
    <script>
        $(document).ready(function () {
          $('#pdfObj').prop('data', 'http://www.pdf995.com/samples/pdf.pdf');
        });
    </script>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>PDF viewer</h1>
      <object id="pdfObj" data="" type="application/pdf" width="500px" height="500px">
        <p>This browser doesn't support object</p>
      </object>
  </body>
</html>

The Plunkr properly displays the PDF file on Chrome and FF, but on Edge the object element stays blank.
