    Hi..

     

    Go to   /Library/Internet Plug-Ins

     

    Move the AdobePDF browser plugin to the Trash.

     

    Try Safari.

     

    If you have problems locating the plugin...

     

    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder

     

    Type this exactly as you see it here:

     

    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins

     

    Click Go
