Question : Can't open to a specified PDF page in IE 8

If I use the following URL in IE 8, the file does not open and dispay the specfied page.

http://www.fpaphilly.org/associations/1528/files/June%20Newsletter_final.pdf#page=7

However, if I use the same URL in Mozilla, it works fine.

I downloaded the latest version of Adobe Reader (9.3) but still have the problem. I'm thinking there must be some plugin that I'm missing for IE8 but can't seem to find it.

Answer : Can't open to a specified PDF page in IE 8

Your actionscript approach could definitely be optimized. I haven't tested this, but it should do the trick. Hopefully you can see where I was going with it. I put a comment in there for the fade out script. You might need to mass with that a little bit. Post back to let me know how it works.
