When I open a URL pointing to a PDF file from Safari, the PDF file is opened by the AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin. Too many times the multi-page PDFs scroll too fast up and down uncontrollably from the touch Pad.
Is there a way to control the scrolling speed and make my reading experience better?

Check your settings in System Preferences > Trackpad
No use. SystemPreferences > Trackpad has Tracking speed for Point & Click only. It can't adjust the Scroll & Zoom.
Get rid of the Adobe plugin (move it out of /Library/Internet Plug Ins) and see if that helps.
I removed the AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin. But I left the adobePDFViewer.plugin there, or shouldn't I?
I guess there's only one way to find out...
Is it reversible if I move it to trash and put it back? Or do I need to download it again, how?
You need to remove both, while Safari is closed.
You can use the Trash - Put Back command to replace them right away (again, close Safari first) or drag them from the trash to some spare folder, in case you want them later.
Thanks AndyBallUK. So far it's working fine till now.
