When I click on a PDF link within Safari the window goes black. I can copy/paste the link into Firefox and get the PDF to download. So, it isn't the PDF. What setting do I have to change to get PDF's to display within Safari?
Thanks much!
Ginger
Delete the following item, then quit and relaunch Safari:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins/AdobePDFViewer.plugin
Thanks for the suggestion........it didn't work. Any other thoughts?
TIA,
Ginger
When you say it didn't work, does that mean that the item I asked you to delete wasn't there, or that you deleted it and relaunched Safari, and nothing had changed?
In either case, please select Help > Installed Plug-ins from the Safari menu bar. Besides the following, what plugins are listed?
iPhotoPhotocast
Java Applet Plug-in
QuickTime Plug-in
Shockwave Flash
WebKit built-in PDF
It deleted, I emptied my trash, and restarted Safari. Then, I clicked to get a PDF and the screen was black.

The Adobe PDF plugin is still installed, or another one is. From the Finder menu bar, select Go > Go to Folder... and enter the following in the text box that opens:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
Press return. Delete anything in the folder that opens that has "PDF" in the name. Then repeat and enter this:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
Again, delete anything with "PDF" in the name. Quit and relaunch Safari.
I'll try this tomorrow when I return to work!
Thanks much,
Ginger
