View PDF files in Safari with Reader 7

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

I am using 2.0.1 and it has no problem with the 1040 form.

Also, I believe it has as many, if not more features as the Adobe plug-in.

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...).

The 1040 tax form for 2004 does bear those extended rights, that's why you can save it with the filled in data, using Reader.

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