Re: [R-SIG-Mac] Adobe viewer needed?
bingo. Didn’t think of the plugin, as Safari and Chrome both open pdfs inline using Preview.app The Adobe detritus was here if anyone else has this problem. /Library/Internet Plug-ins/AdobePDFViewer.plugin thanks! t On 13 Aug 2015, at 7:47 PM, Simon Urbanek simon.urba...@r-project.org wrote: Tim, I fear that it must be a setting on your Mac - the default is to show the PDF in-ine in the same window (which uses the Preview engine behind the scenes).
