Safari should open PDF's in the browser, since 3.0. It will either use it's built in plugin or Adobe, depending on whether Adobe has butted in or not. I actually prefer PDF Plugin, from SchubertIT http://www.schubert-it.com/pluginpdf/ , much faster than Acrobloat, much more flexible than the built-in one. It lets you open forms in Acrobat when needed, preserving the various automatic stuff you lose by saving it and opening it in Acrobat form the desktop. We have a LOT of such forms here on campus that require you to open them up in the browser to work; Apple's own QT PDF stuff (which the ShcubertIT plug-in uses) opens some of the forms, but others are messed up; in the SchubertIT plugin, you can click on the gear button and open the form in any other program that handles PDF's. -- Bruce Johnson Wherever you go, there you are B.

Re: I forgot....
Many thanks to you all for helping me with a problem. I followed your directions and now my .pdf files open with Previewregardless of browser.
