Using the JavaScript "hostContainer" method with IE8

have you seen this example?

It sounds like the PDF is not being opened in the browser plug-in. Have you checked the Acrobat Preferences to make sure the PDF is not being opened by the stand alone product?

Another problem with the host container is that all the objects involved have to be initialized in the correct order. And because of the indeterminant nature of the internet there are frequent timing problems.
