Jan 18, 2016 4:04 PM in response to Nielby Floyd Bloom,Thanks Niel, but downloading is not an option offered-- I suppose I coukd try to do a "Save As" to my desktop ,but she has a lot of these files to process and I was hopeful there would be some way to invoke the "Opn with" option.

Jan 18, 2016 7:52 PM in response to Floyd Bloomby VikingOSX,In Safari menu : View : Show Status Bar. This will be the absolute bottom of your Safari browser. When you pass your mouse over what you think will be a link to a PDF, the status bar will show the PDF filename at the end of the link. Only if it does, you have two choices:
- Go ahead and click the link. It will be opened by the PDF viewer plug-in that is enabled by default in Safari, or the Adobe Acrobat PDF plug-in if you installed Reader or Acrobat Pro. You can then click the disk icon in the Adobe PDF viewer and save the document to your Desktop. Occasionally, the PDF file may download directly to your Downloads folder too.
- Control-click the PDF document link and observe the contextual menu options (click to enlarge)

There is no ability to click on a web-based link and have it open directly in Preview, Acrobat Pro, or Acrobat Reader on the Mac because Safari does not use Helper applications.
