Doesn't work with PDFs + Preview.app
Authored by: leono on Mar 30, '04 02:54:37PM

Doesn't seem to work with PDFs and Preview. I set PDFs to automatically save to disk, so that PDF would should up in Preferences > Downloads. I changed the action to Open with Preview (that being the Preview in Preview.app/Contents/MacOS/), but when I try to download a PDF now, I get:

/Users/me/Desktop/myPDF.pdf could not be opened, because an unknown error occurred. Sorry about that. Try saving to disk first and then opening the file.

I've seen this error message from time to time in Mozilla, I think I narrowed it down to certain webservers but I'm not sure anymore. You can always get around it via the contextual menu, selecting 'Save Link Target as'.
