Hi Brian,

Same results as Carlo in Safari 5.0.5  OS X 10.6.7 on my Macs.

1. Can you view the PDF Viewing Tools in Safari?
To see the toolbar, move the pointer to the bottom-center of the page. 
If you move the pointer away from the toolbar, it disappears after a moment.

The toolbar has four buttons. Point to each button to see what it does.

If the type is too small or too large, click the “Zoom in” (+) and “Zoom out” 
(-) buttons.

To view the PDF file in Preview, click the “Open PDF in Preview” button. 

2. Do you have Preview set as your Default PDF reader on your Mac?
Find a PDF file you already have on the hard drive, then “command-i” on the PDF
In the Get Info window click the pop up menu next to: Open with. Choose 
Preview. Change All

Relaunch Safari.

3. If you are still having the problem

Go to HD / Library / Internet Plug-ins / and delete the AdobePDFViewer.plugin.
Quit Safari and relaunch. 


Cheers,
Ronni
