I don't have any issues with 2002123108 on WinXP, but the source of the page
uses <embed id="g1"
		src="http://www.mmatch.techno-link.com/pdf/1.pdf"
		ALIGN="top"
		WIDTH="887"
		HEIGHT="1254"	> which is deprecated.

The correct source should be:
<object id="g1" data="http://www.nmatch.techno-link.com/pdf/1.pdf"
type="application/pdf" style="text-align: right; width: 887px; height: 1254px">

Let their Webmaster know that.

the browser for OS X. Or does it ? hmm...

This is an embedded PDF. Does it work with an IFRAME?

WorksForMe using FizzillaMach/2003021903 and the third-party PDF plug-in
available from <http://www.schubert-it.com/plugin/>. boz, can you still
reproduce this problem using a current nightly build and the aforementioned plug-in?
