This error is only with IE7 I have tested on different computors

I have used embedded pdf on my website for over 6 months with no problems. Over the last two days yahoo have been working on their servers correcting other issues. Now when I open the page on my site the pdf file opens in a adobe reader as a temp file ie acr08.temp. I know it is a server error because my other yahoo sites (different ip) where i also use pdf files in this way were working fine, until yesterday when these problems migrated to these sites too.

<snip> example effected page.

Note. in firefox page opens correctly.

I noticed even direct links to the file do not open up in IE7

<snip>

when i do a msn search and click on another sites pdf file, the files opens normally within IE7

I contacted yahoo and their response was " IE7 must have been updated it is not our problem" they gave no answer when i asked why there was no problem with embedded pdf files on non yahoo server hosting.

Any help or comments would be helpful, what server issue would cause pdf file to behave in this way with IE7 ?

many thanks
