View PDF files in Safari with Reader 7
Authored by: maddys_daddy on Jan 20, '05 01:18:44PM
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.
