Re: Setting pdf Files to Open in Preview?
If I click a pdf file from a website Safari always opens it for me as well. If I am in finder though, than preview will open the pdf document.

Re: Setting pdf Files to Open in Preview?
Hi, Didn't I just answer this exact question over the weekend? You cannot in Safari, click on a pdf link and have it open in preview. This was deprecated in Safari version 7, maybe even 6.1. This is done by a helper app database in safari. The technical way to set this preference was via this command in terminal: defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitOmitPDFSupport -bool NO This preference is no longer supported. Absolutely do not enable Safari to open safe files after download. This is a huge security risk. In fact, Apple should be ashamed they enable this by default. Turn it off and keep it off. The finder's Get Info and open with setting has absolutely nothing to do with the initial question. That only affects files in the Finder's open API (e.g. Double clicking the file or command O). Again, the easiest solution I am aware of is to have Safari open the PDF in the safari browser, and then contextual click on the pdf and open in Preview. If you wish to search the Apple forums, you'll find exactly what I've just said above. Best, --K "Faith doesn't give you the answers, it merely stops you from asking the questions."

I don't have access to my computer right now, but there's an option in preferences that says "open safe files after downloading". You might try that.

Re: Setting pdf Files to Open in Preview?
That's the odd thing. Preview is indicated as the default application to open pdf files. Safari always openens them from a link, though. Thanks forthe tips, guys. I can definitely work around it.

Hi. Starting with mavericks, opening PDFs has not been accessible for me. All the PDFs open in the adobe plugin.

Re: Setting pdf Files to Open in Preview?
Hi, The pdf file type is supported inline with Safari. Just like you don't have every image JPEG open in a graphics program, so is it with PDFs. There used to be a setting in Snow Leopard that allowed Safari to open PDF files in Preview, but that got cut with Lion, as I recall. I also miss this feature. What I tend to do, is actually have Safari open the pdf, then I use the contextual menu on the pdf to open in preview. This eliminates the need for the download and open. It's a little faster than the way you describe, and you don't have to clean up your downloads folder.
