Hi
I updated my Adobe programs and now Safari opens PDF files in the
browser. How do I get it to download PDFs instead?
Thanks and best wishes

Go to /Library/Internet Plug-Ins. Remove AdobePDFViewer.plugin, or
do what I have done: create a new folder in the Plug-ins folder
called Disabled Plug-ins or something similar, and move
AdobePDFViewer.plugin there. Safari won't find it, but it's there
in case you ever want it again.
Just one more point though: this won't prevent PDFs from opening
directly in Safari, since it has its own built-in PDF viewer which
becomes active if there are no others available. Once the PDF has
loaded you can just use Safari's Save command to save it to your
hard drive.

Further to the above ,
I saved a piece back in April which which describes how to force Safari
to automatically download a PDF file .
You need to read all of it
and it applied to Safari 2 , but i imagine possibly also applies to
Safari 3 .
