I've run into this problem before. I don't think it's Internet Explorer's
fault. I think it might be the way you are FTP'ing the PDF files.

When I ran into this problem, I worked with a sysadmin who informed me that
there was some issue with the permissions settings on the files I uploaded
to the server. The solution was to scp the files from a local box instead of
FTP'ing them. I don't recall the exact reason, however I recommend you work
with your sysadmin to ensure that the files are on the server with the
appropriate permissions.
