Thanks, that plug-in seems to be just what I need.
Just out of curiosity, when Safari downloads the PDF "to a temporary file in a
hidden folder," does that result in the same 'writing to disk' as downloading a
PDF with Firefox -- the only difference being that Firefox (without the plugin)
requires the user to manually delete the PDF, whereas Safari does that
automatically?
Or are such 'temporary files' ever created in RAM only?
Thanks again.

WebKit-based browsers (or at least OmniWeb and Safari) allow you to view PDF in
the browser, and you can right-click anywhere on the PDF to view in your
default application. To do this, it will download the PDF to a temporary file
in a hidden folder.
For Firefox, it looks like you'll have to do something different.
