quick safari question

somehow my safari reset something so that it doesnt open pdf files anymore in the browser, it pops up a window that lets me use adobe reader but I don't have adobe reader and it wont let me pick preview. How do I make it use safari to look at pdf's
thanks

Personally I like Adobe Reader more than Preview as it gives you much more functionality whereas Preview is severely limited. Unfortunately I don't have an answer for your problem regarding Preview however, you may want to give Reader a try

I'm guessing that you have open "safe" files after downloading ticked in Safari > Prefs > General tab. Untick ~ it's safer anyway

Best

Got it. Do you have ONYX on your system? If not, Download and install it as it will come in handy to speed up your system anyway. Then when it opens and you enter the system password, go to the Parameters Tab. Click on Safari, then put a check by "Automatically Open PDF Files in Safari". That should fix it. Somehow that setting has changed.

Hope that takes care of it for you.

I searched high and low for that checkbox, dennis, as I knew I'd seen it on my iMac somewhere, if only I could remember where!

Anyway you inspired me to find this:
