PDF files will not open in Safari

When clicking on a link to a pdf file (example: <a href = 'xxx.pdf'>


I get a blank window. Have Acrobat, latest version installed. Is there a special process to install it in Safari?

Hi...


Go to /Library/Internet Plug-Ins


Move the Adobe PDF Browser plugin to the Trash.


Quit then relaunch Safari to test.


If you have trouble finding the files..


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
