Internet Explorer does not and never will display PDFs.  It is an Adobe 
plugin that performs this function.  I don't know if this capability is 
built into the HTML rendering engine for Wine.

And this will continue to happen until you install the Linux version of 
Adobe Acrobat plugin for Firefox.  You don't need Wine to do what you 
are attempting to do.  Firefox does this very well. 

Installing Internet Explorer under Linux is a tedious task made easier 
by the ies4linux project.  Google them and follow the instructions.

BTW, if she is using a Mac, the last version of supported IE is 5.2.  
Firefox, again, is your friend and runs on both Intel and PowerPC Macs.
