Thanks for advice about downloading pdfs. As suggested, I removed
the Adobe plugin and solved the problem. Funny I would have thought
the plugin would be needed!

I stand to be corrected regards version numbers, but from memory
Safari has has a built-in PDF reader since 2.0. I certainly
abandoned the Adobe plugin years ago. The Safari reader has little
to no visible interface (except for a minimal translucent toolbar in
3.x), but most of what you want is achievable via the contextual menu.
My Reply to Richard's email the other day:
"Safari will open a pdf automatically provided you haven't checked
Adobe Reader to open pdf's in the browser.
Are you using Adobe Reader or Acrobat as the engine for seeing PDF's
in Safari. If so, its usual for the screen to appear black while the
entire PDF loads.
When fully loaded the PDF ought to appear. By contrast, viewing via
Apple's Preview within Safari creates a grey screen with a progress
loading bar.
Same situation as Adobe, i.e. the PDF does not appear until fully
loaded,
In regard to the blank "Black" page you are experiencing ... Remove
the plugin Adobe in the HD /library/InternetPlugins to your desktop.
See if you can view a PDF correctly then in Safari.
If so you can trash the plugin, if not you can place it back in the
Internet Plugins."
