Hi Lloyd, You might find you need to run Safari in 32-bit mode, not 64-bit mode. Quite Safari, then highlight Safari.app > "Get Info" > under General tick "Open in 32-bit mode". The Adobe Acrobat PDF Plug-in does not load in Safari 64-bit Web Browser on Mac OS X Snow Leopard (v10.6). Go here for instructions how to can run Safari in 32-bit, which will allow the Adobe Acrobat/Reader plug-in to load and be used. <http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/509/cpsid_50983.html> Go here for information on Plugins that will only work in Safari 4.0.4 32-bit. <http://www.tuaw.com/2009/09/03/lost-your-favorite-safari-plugin-after-upgrading-to-snow-leopard/> Cheers, Ronni 17" MacBook Pro Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz / 4GB / 800MHz / 500GB OS X 10.6.2 Snow Leopard Windows 7 Ultimate (under sufferance) -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml> Guidelines - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml> Unsubscribe - <mailto:[email protected]>
