View PDF files in Safari with Reader 7
As much as I like the Schubert plug-in, it's missing a few nice features that Adobe's offers. The page browser is quite useful, but even more important, Adobe's plug-in handles things that Schubert won't. As an example, try the 1040 tax form.
In Schubert, you see the form with a bunch of ???? in the fields. With Adobe's plug-in, you can enter data into those fields, and save the filled-in form locally, all from your browser. -rob.

Please state the version of the Schubert plug-in you are using, otherwise you do a disservice to everyone here.

See my other reply below; Schubert does not support PDF forms. You can fill data in, but you can't save the form with the filled-in data.

Actually, that's what you can not do with Reader (or Reader powering the browser plug-in) either, UNLESS the form has the so-called Extended Rights (which would have been applied by the creator of the form, using the Adobe Reader Extensions Server (or whatever that thingie's name du jour is...).

Right, that's what I was referring to -- the extended rights forms, not the simple ones. Sorry for any confusion.

rob,
I just downloaded the most recent version of the Schuberth plugin, and it seems to have fixed (well, sort of) the issues that you're concerned with. While you can't have a page view in the sidebar, you can view a collapsible tree view of the TOC (if one exists for the file). This for me, more often than not, is much more convenient than page view. See this pdf document to see the TOC (if you have a recent version of the Schuberth plugin).
Also, forms are fixed. I had no problem filling out the 1040. The only caveat is that using the "Save" or "Save as..." option won't save the filled in form data (which stinks). However, selecting Print>Save as pdf... will save a pdf with the form data filled in. The only drawback to this is that there is a header (extraneous pdf meta-data??) that appears above the 1040 page 1. Haven't tried it with any other PDF forms yet.
The biggest reason I'm sticking with the Schuberth plugin is that I use Firefox pretty much exclusively, and, as far as I know, the Adobe plugin won't work in firefox.
