I have developed a web site www.paradisebluerentacar.com.au using some of your extensions and I am having trouble with the lightbox not performing as expected in IE9. While the pdf opens correctly within the lightbox in Safari, Chrome, and Firefox for Windows it doesn't in IE9 showing a "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" instead and a ribbon at the bottom of the screen showing "Do you want to open or save ParadiseBlueTermsConditions.pdf (44.3kb) from paradisebluerentacar.com.au? with open, save and cancel buttons

paradisebluerentacar.com.au/terms.htm

Is there a work around that you know of?

Hello Trevor.

The PDF is opening in the lightbox for me. But in the first second it is displaying that it can't be loaded.I will try to recreate the issue and notify you here if the problem is within the extension or server side related.

Hi, Trevor.
I wonder whether it can be accomplished by building a web PDF viewer into the browser to help open PDF in IE9? I am testing about the related projects these days. Do you have any ideas about it? Or any good suggestion? Thanks in advance.



Best regards,
Arron

though building another pdf web viewer may help you open and view pdf document, but i should see whether ict is compatible with most of the web browsers.
