How do I set the .PDF viewer in Safari?

I have Safari set up to open .pdf documents in a browser tab. Currently it uses Adobe reader to do this. I'd like to change it so that Skim is used to view .pdf files in a tab instead. Skim is already my default .pdf viewer in Finder.

Is there a way to specify which .pdf app to use in Safari? I poked around the Preferences, but I couldn't find anything.

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.5.6), Safari 3.2.1

If I understand your question correctly, Safari will open a pdf automatically provided you haven't checked Adobe Reader to open pdf's in the browser. Adobe reader>preferences>internet.
