Roughly following the thread, and tried the original URL () and viewed 
the headers.  Why is this header being sent?
Content-Type: Mishpacha PDF Article application/pdf

Shouldn't that be Content-type: application/pdf ?  For IE 7, you'll want 
to give the filename in the header, as Jason suggested earlier.  I saved 
your pdf file, and made this quickie to do something like you're doing:

<?php  /*** pftest.php ***/

$pdfoutput = file_get_contents('viewpdfTest.pdf');

header('Content-Type: application/pdf');
header('Content-Disposition: inline; filename=file.pdf');

echo $pdfoutput;
exit;

?>

Works fine in IE 7 for me.  If I remove the content-disposition, it 
doesn't work in IE 7 anymore, but does in FF and IE 6.

HTH...
