Back up all data.
Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then launch Safari and test.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

I did not post this problem, but I had it... Thanks~!
Hi there, many thanks for this pdf cure, it worked a treat. It was very annoying to have this problem in the first place. Mavericks has been a pain for me in many areas, ....roll on some GOOD updates, cheer Pete
