I had similar problems too.  This seems to work with IE:
         theFile=open( self.pdfpath,'rb')
         result = theFile.read()
         ....
         RESPONSE.setHeader('Content-Type','application/pdf')
         RESPONSE.setHeader("Content-Disposition","filename=report.pdf")
         RESPONSE.setHeader('Content-Length',len(result))
         RESPONSE.write(result)
Sending the "Content-Length" header fixed the problem.  PDFs now appear 
inline and with their expected contents.  I haven't diffed the code between 
2.8 and 2.9, but I'm guessing that Zope used to send that header by default 
but no longer does.
