I have discovered a down side to opening PDFs with Safari, as opposed
to Adobe Reader (at least, it is a down side in my opinion).
That is, with Adobe Reader, I can highlight, copy and paste text from
PDFs directly into other apps, such as Mail. Using Safari, the copied
text has to be pasted into TextEdit first, then copied again in order
to paste into Mail.

Hi Richard,
Safari will open a pdf automatically provided you haven't checked
Adobe Reader to open pdf's in the browser.
Are you using Adobe Reader or Acrobat as the engine for seeing PDF's
in Safari. If so, it's usual for the screen to appear black while
the entire PDF loads.
When fully loaded the PDF ought to appear. By contrast, viewing via
Apple's Preview within Safari creates a grey screen with a progress
loading bar.
Same situation as Adobe, i.e. the PDF does not appear until fully
loaded,
In regard to the blank "Black" page you are experiencing ... Remove
the plugin Adobe in the HD /library/InternetPlugins to your desktop.
See if you can view a PDF correctly then in Safari.
If so you can trash the plugin, if not you can place it back in the
Internet Plugins.
Cheers,
Ronni
