Issue reported on GeoNet https://geonet.esri.com/thread/157697

This is a know issue in Internet Explorer where nothing can be displayed on top of the PDF viewer, see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/593176/div-layer-on-top-of-pdf

Using alternative PDF to Acrobat like FoxIt does not fix the issue but using Google Drive PDF preview is a valid workaround. Any PDF can be previewed freely withotu being uploaded to Google Server by using the following URL https://docs.google.com/gview?url=http://mydomain.com/mypdf.pdf&embedded=true

Exemple of this http://www.arcgis.com/apps/MapSeries/?appid=a38e7efa6d55469b88088d5e90443963
