Hi.
I wonder why Safari won't open a PDF-document after I uninstallet Adobe Reader. Prior to my installation of Adobe Reader, Safari opened PDF's without any diffyculty.
I've tried to reset Safari but it didn't seem to help at all.
What do I do?
Thanks

There might be a residual plug-in interfering with Safari's PDF opening capabilities.
Installed plug-ins are listed via Safari > Help menu.
They are located in
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
and
~/Library//Internet Plug-ins
(tilde is home folder)

An old plug in has to be removed as follows:
Open finder
From menu bar, select Go > Go To Folder…
Type in: /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
Delete AdobePDFViewer.plugin and if it is there AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin (you may be prompted for password)
Empty trash
Restart Mac
Have another go!

Why won't Safari open PDF-documents after uninstalling Adobe Reader?
