Chappies, I have a question regarding .pdf files which I download and open from the net. When I do this the file in question opens within Safari but this means that I cannot leaf through the document, I am just stuck at the title page, whatever that may be. I suspect there is a way around this but of course I haven't found it yet! Here's to you then: how do I view a .pdf I just downloaded? Cheers!!!

Hold down Alt/Option when you click the link to the pdf and it will save it to your desktop to allow you to open it in preview

you should be able to scroll through it in Safari with the scroll bar or the down arrow key

I will do that Monkey. It doesn't scroll down if I use the arrow keys, I will hold down Option next time. Cheers!!!
