When a linked .pdf is clicked, it downloads rather than following the link and opening in another safari window.

Thanks for the tip, but I had already tried this and it did not help. The File still downloads and , at the same time, a new Safari window opens - but the Safari window is blank.


Another discussion thread related to this problem is:

How do I prevent automatic downloading of .pdf files?

but this deals with Safari 5.1 which evidently has a problem with Adobe Reader.


I am using Safari 5.0, so the suggested solutions do not apply. ( I tried them anyway, but they did not work.)
