I have a bunch of PDF's that work fine in Firefox and Chrome, but not in IE9.
Here is an example using the viewer (current version today 2/2/2012):

Here is the error thrown:
Message: Malformed PDF: catalog object is not a dictionary

it looks to be a problem in readXrefStream:
getCatalogObj: function xRefGetCatalogObj() {
return this.fetch(this.root);
}

I'm looking for a workaround to get these PDF's loaded in IE9 and would appreciate any help or pointers. (btw, these pdf's only contain images and are very simple).
thanks
