I work around safari's freezing problem as follows:
1. Place the mouse cursor on the pdf file's link and turn off VoiceOver.
2. click once with the mouse button to download the pdf file, being
careful not to move the mouse.
3. Press command-S to save.
4. turn VoiceOver back on so that you can navigate the save dialog
(i.e., name the file, move to the folder where you want to save it,
etc.).
5. After moving the cursor to the save button, turn VoiceOver off a
second time, and click on the save button with the mouse.
I know this is cumbersome, but it does avoide the freezing problem.

Hello,
This might be a moot point after Leopard comes out but never the
less. One of the recent things I did with Onyx, a free system
maintenance utility, was this. From within Onyx, I set Safari to
download .pdf files, instead of opening them in the browser. This
avoids the freezing up of Safari. And the .pdf file is available to
read, from where ever your downloads are located.
