Can't Open PDF in Safari? Try this.

Some Mac users are frustrated by an inability to open and read PDF files in their Safari browser. Here's what I did to solve that problem for myself a few weeks ago:

1. Quit Safari
2. Go to Finder Type ⇧⌘-G (Command-Shift-G) or choose "Goto Folder…" from the "Go" menu.
3. Type "/Library/Internet Plug-Ins" (without the quotation marks!)
4. When that folder opens, look for a plug-in called "AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin"
5. If you find it, drag it to the desktop. Restart Safari and go to a page with a PDF.

If you can see this PDF now, you can safely throw away AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin.

If you can't see the PDF, please let me know what Mac you're using, what version of Safari & Mac OS, and I'll see if I have any other ideas for you!
