Chris:

This is just a hunch:

OS X has its own Preview application that can view PDFs (also can create them from within Print dialog boxes). It may be that Preview is set to be the default PDF viewing application, but IE doesn't know about it, or can't hand off the PDF to it. Some time back, there was a problem of conflicts in browsers which had a PDF viewing "helper" application specified, as well as having a PDF viewer plug-in installed. The conflict prevented the viewing in PDFs in either the external helper application or the browser's plug-in.

As I said, just a hunch, but worth investigating.

Regards,

Peter Gold

Thanks to all who replied.

The problem seems to be with internet explorer
not using the acrobat plugin, but downloading
a local copy and firing up acrobat to read
the local copy (and so of course links don't
work as you only downloaded one of the pdf files)

As a workaround I've put a zip of all the pdf
files on the site so anyone having this problem
can download them all in one go.

However ideally I'd like to find out how to
get the plug in to work properly on OSX!
