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)
