View PDF files in Safari with Reader 7

It is beyond annoying that Adobe installs this without asking. Unlike Kesh, I still have not figured out how to disable this annoying plugin. I LIKE to download my PDFs and view them later!!!

Delete the Adobe plug-in found in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins. Also view package contents on Safari, and navigate to Frameworks and remove the Adobe framework aliases.

Unfortunately, Acrobat Reader has what it calls a 'self-healing' feature, which will reinstall this plugin if you run the acrobat reader again later. The only way to get rid of this malware feature is to dig into the acrobat reader preferences under the 'internet' pane.

Actually, you don't need to do anything as drastic as deleting any files to turn off the Adobe Reader 7 Safari PDF browser option - in AR7 preferences, go to Internet and uncheck all the checkboxes - this will return Safari's Schubert functionality if you're using Schubert, or none if you have none (for those who want to just download pdfs for later).

You can only turn off the Adobe Reader 7.0 plugin if you use an adminstration account and then you have to copy the preference file to the user accounts.

Notes from another posting of mine:
If you can't get the Internet preferences disabled in Reader 7.0 in the non-admin accounts either copy an admin preference file "com.adobe.Reader7.0.plist" or try editting that file using the Property List Editor (if you installed the Developer Tools).

Under the section Originals, look for BrowserCheck and BrowserIntegration. If BrowserCheck doesn't exist select Originals and clcik button New Child, change the "New Item" to "BrowserCheck", change it to an array, then expand the disclosure triangle and press New Child, change it to "Number" with value of 0 and hit "New Sibling" button and change it to Boolean with value of No.

If you convert it to text you would get:

<key>Originals</key>
<dict>
<key>BrowserCheck</key>
<array>
<integer>0</integer>
<false/>
</array>

Next do the same for BrowserIntegration if it does not exist.
