I believe that Safari (at least when running on a Mac) uses Preview to display pdfs unless you have the AdobePDFViewer.app installed? One thing about Safari's Help -> Installed Plug-ins menu item is that you have to have JS enabled, or it simply presents a blank page - it actually loads the local file: </Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/Plug-ins.html>

I was just saying, if I recall, that there are other valid and realistic reasons other than printing for the occasional or limited use of PDFs on website. -- dorayme |
