Installing the latest Adobe Reader causes Preview to be overwritten by Reader as the default PDF reader in Safari. There's a setting in Adobe Reader prefs that should aloow one to change the setting, but it is greyed out. Thanks Adobe! You'll need to go to your HD/Library/Internet Plug-in folder and remove the Adobe plug-ins. Quit and restart Safari, then Preview is default again.
iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.3)
All you need to do is:
Select any PDF, while pressing the Command key along with the letter " i " key.
In the resulting window, select "Open With"
Change it from Adobe Reader to Preview.
Then select "Change All."
From then on, PDF's will open with Preview.
Here is the instruction page from Adobe
see "Apple Safari - Disable AdobePDFViewer plug-in"

Thank you for this - exactly what I was looking for.

Really glad this helped you.
(Better late than never, eh?)
I found them in the /Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, and removed them. PDFs within Safari open with the native Preview. This is handy.
Thank You.
Thank you Bruce!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.
One would think Adobe was created by Microsoft!!!
