I believe that under Mac OS X 10.1 Apple has correctly set Preview to
view PDF documents in the default File Helper settings. Your best bet
with the current version of Mac OS X is to open IE's prefs to the File
Helpers section, find the entry for .pdf and set it to "View with
Application" Preview.

Subject: How to select Preview as PDF application handler?
When I click on a link to a PDF document in OS X Internet Explorer, I
get an
unknown document type dialog. While I have been saving the documents to
disk
and viewing them with the preview application, today I tried to set a
helper
application by clicking the application choice in the dialog. I could
navigate to the OS X Applications folder, but could not select any
application as all the applications, including Preview, were grayed out.
If
I navigate to the Applications (Mac OS 9) folder, I can select an OS 9
application (e.g. Acrobat Reader) to view the document.
Why can't I select an OS X native application? Since Preview is a
standard
part of the Mac OS X installation, why isn't this already set up in the
default configuration?
