If I remember right, there is a bug or a 'lack of support' for

Also, while you can't control which version of Acrobat your users
install,
my guess is that viewing PDF files in the default browser on that
particular
machine simply no longer works.
The HTMLViewer is using the default browser to display HTML.
As I said, this works fine in Safari. So it's something to do with
REAL's use of webkit, not webkit itself.
If you look in the Safari package, you will see that there are a
number of aliases to different frameworks including the Adobe Acrobat
frameworks. It might be that Adobe Acrobat has partly made the
connection with WebKit, but is looking for and cannot find the
aliases to their framework and creates a fatal error (for Acrobat).
Adobe Acrobat probably never worked within the HTMLViewer. OS X 10.4
and higher added the ability to display PDFs directly in Safari by
using Preview... but whenever you install or upgrade Adobe Acrobat,
it resets the preferences and installs the plugin in Safari if you
accept their seemly innocent dialog.
I would report this issue to Adobe to see if they could properly hook
into the WebKit framework instead of doing this "hack".
