View PDF files in Safari with Reader 7

Wow, tough crowd today :).

I just measured, and the Adobe PDF viewer actually takes one more vertical pixel than does the Schubert viewer. Yes, the toolbar itself is notably taller (there's a button to hide it at the bottom of the screen). But Schubert leaves more empty space before it gets to the top of the PDF -- so the actual content of the PDF starts one pixel lower with Adobe than it does with Schubert.

I took full screenshots using both plug-ins, and I can see just as much of the PDF in both programs -- OK, one less pixel width's row in Adobe, but that's it...

Both are very handy to have; both have strengths and weaknesses. But Adobe is the first plug-in to handle forms and provide a page viewer, which are the two reasons it will be my primary Safari PDF browser. In the other browsers, of course, I'll continue to use Schubert.

The toolbar at the top (which is ugly) can be toggled on and off with the icon on the lower left. Nice!
