Dumb PDF Browser Question - SteveO - 11-29-2009

Sorry for the numbskull question, but I'm using Manfred Schubert's "PDF Browser Plugin" for Safari and Camino and well, I'm just not liking it much. Anybody got other suggestions? I thought that Safari used to have this built-in. Is the latest Acrobat in-line browser any good? Doesn't (or did) Safari used to have a built-in PDF viewer? I'd think there'd be a Preview plug in...

Thanks!

It still does--no plug-in required. Uninstall SchubertIt's and Adobe plug-ins.

No.

When viewing a PDF in Safari Control (Right) Click on the PDF and there will be a menu, one item of which will be to open in Preview. I almost always view PDF's in Preview. And then if I want to, I save it while in Preview.
