For me the PDF opens in a frame just fine.

I am running Firefox 3.0.1 on WinXP SP3  Also Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; 
Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko/2008070208 Firefox/3.0.1

Note the "Windows NT 5.1" - maybe I have to go to Vista to get 6.0 and 
get this to work? I hope not.

Ditto.


The only difference I see is the NT 6.0 on your system compared to my NT 
 5.1

So, I went down the hall to a Vista system and tried it with Firefox 
(3.0.1).  It had NT 6.0 etc.

No joy. File damaged, could not be repaired.

I am stumped.
