You are correct, a pdf file is OS independent and there are many readers 
for it. But the issue is whether the web designers designed the site for 
IE only rather than for any browser. Some even to this day refuse to 
write standards compliant web pages that render correctly when viewed 
using any OS or browser. I know stupid but they would rather irritate 
users/potential customers than do things correctly.

Also, could Equifax be using Javascript for some silly reason to control 
the download?

Personally, I design my pages using Opera, Firefox, and Chrome 
simultaneously in Linux to check layout/behavior issues. Then I test in 
IE for any rendering problems.

I saw a post that on the LO user list that the pdf format is now an 
open/ISO format since 2008.
