Thanks. My 'plugins' list shows 'Chrome PDF Viewer' as the active PDF reader
app. 'Disable' is not selected, and 'Always allowed' is unchecked. ( I don't
know what 'Always allowed' means -- is that another way of saying "this is the
default application for PDF's" if checked?)
Yet PDF's have been opening (automatically) in Preview (i.e., neither in SKIM
nor in Chrome's built-in reader).

That seems to bring me back to my original question: How do I make Skim the
default reader app for PDF's (in Chrome)?is si--- On Fri, 7/6/12, José Miguel

I have not managed to get Chrome to use Skim in the browser. The best I have
been able to do is to disable the built-in PDF viewer (you do this in Chrome by
navigating to "about:plugins"). Then Chrome will simply download the PDFs. If
you like living dangerously, you can tell Chrome to always open PDF files, in
which case it will do so with Skim, provided that Skim is the default
application with which you open PDF files.
Cheers,
José
