View PDF files in Safari with Reader 7
My personal preference it to avoid loading PDFs in the browser window. It reduces the amount of screen room by adding another menubar to that of the browser. I suppose for those with plenty of screen room (have used portables for a long time though since the PB190 the largest has is still 14/15 inches.
Advantages of plug-ins
As most people using a pdf plug-in will probably confirm to you, if you browse the web a lot, especially using seach engines, and you don't use a plug-in, you will end up with quite a huge number of pdf files in your 'download folder', 99% of which you will have throw away again.
Advantages of plug-ins
I have not looked as I don't use the PI to view PDFs but I will be very surprised if your PDFs that are viewed in the browser are not cached somewhere on your system. I assume (maybe wrongly) that at some point they will be silently deleted. So there is a trade off. I manually delete PDFs I do not want from my specified/known download folder or wait for the clutter to be moved at some point by the system. And I still have to manually save the PDF documents I want. |
