Is it possible to open PDF with fancybox 2.1 in IE8?

I am working on a site that hosts a large number of PDF files, and I want to open them in fancybox (2.1) for preview. It works great in Chrome and Firefox. But it just won’t work in IE8. I tried linking directly to the PDF file by contacting the iframe and linking to the embed tag (among other more crazy things). I cannot use Google to transfer them. Here is a page that demonstrates the problem.

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en">
<head>
    <title>My Page</title>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.fancybox.js?v=2.1.0"></script>
    <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" media="screen" href="jquery.fancybox.css" />
</head>
<body style="background-color:grey">    
    <p><a href="mypdffile.pdf" class="fancypdf">a link</a> to a PDF file.</p>

    <p><a href="#Frame1" class="fancy">a link</a> to an iframe with the pdf in it.</p>
    <div style="display:none">
    <iframe id="Frame1" src="mypdffile.pdf" style='width:100%;' height="600" frameborder="0" allowTransparency="true"></iframe>
    </div>

    <p><a class="fancy" href="#mypdf" >a link</a> to a pdf in an embed tab</p>
    <div style="display:none"><div id="mypdf"> 
    <embed src="mypdffile.pdf" type="application/pdf" width="640" height="480" /> 
    </div></div>  

    <script type='text/javascript'>
    $(function(){
        $("a.fancypdf").fancybox({type:'iframe'});
        $("a.fancy").fancybox();
    });
    </script>
</body>
</html>

The results are different. In IE, for the first link, a counter appears and freezes. For the second two, a fancybox popup appears, but it's empty. What am I doing wrong?

, html:

<a class="fancypdf" href="path/file.pdf">open pdf</a>

:

$(".fancypdf").click(function(){
 $.fancybox({
   type: 'html',
   autoSize: false,
   content: '<embed src="'+this.href+'#nameddest=self&page=1&view=FitH,0&zoom=80,0,0" type="application/pdf" height="99%" width="100%" />',
   beforeClose: function() {
     $(".fancybox-inner").unwrap();
   }
 }); //fancybox
 return false;
}); //click

That worked for me in IE and Chrome (fancybox 2.x)

//HTML
<a class="fancybox fancybox.iframe"  href="arquivo.pdf">Arquivo</a>

//SCRIPT
$('.fancybox').fancybox({
    autoSize: false,
    width: 960,
    height: 500,
    arrows: false,
    nextClick: false,
    iframe: {
        preload: false // fixes issue with iframe and IE
    },
    helpers : {
    overlay : {
        css : {'background' : 'rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.85)'}
      }
    }   
});
