Hi, The pdf file type is supported inline with Safari. Just like you don't have every image JPEG open in a graphics program, so is it with PDFs. There used to be a setting in Snow Leopard that allowed Safari to open PDF files in Preview, but that got cut with Lion, as I recall. I also miss this feature.
What I tend to do, is actually have Safari open the pdf, then I use the contextual menu on the pdf to open in preview. This eliminates the need for the download and open. It's a little faster than the way you describe, and you don't have to clean up your downloads folder. If you wish to actually save the pdf locally, you can do a save as from preview and put it where ever you want. I know it's not the answer you were hoping for. Best, --k Faith doesn't give you the answers, it merely stops you from asking the questions.
