View PDF files in Safari with Reader 7

Thanks for the tip. I didn't try it b/c Schubert started working in Camino again, without me doing anything. There is quite a bit of discussion about this at the Camino forums. http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=188140

Nobody else has this strange behavior?

In Safari, immediately after installing Adobe Reader 7, I just happened to click on a pdf, and was amazed to see the Adobe plugin pop up. But since the beginning, it's been strange: very, very fast, faster than Schubert, but a dialog pops up first, saying "Can't open <address.pdf>, and then, it opens it -- but half the dialog is living behind it. I have to click on the half-hidden dialog and then press return to get rid of it. With Firefox, the pdf is downloaded, and then up pops the full Acrobat 7.0 app with the said doc. This is also very fast, frankly, and on my G5, the Reader seems at least as fast as Preview. I'm still exploring the little hidden feature. Frankly? I think Adobe got scared by Preview, and they knew what a clunker they had in 6.0.
