clicking on a link to a pdf in a web page viewed with Safari, loads the PDF file, in a new page, inside Safari. At least it does on my version of Safari. (5.1.7 under Lion)
What is your default PDF viewer? I have found that having Acrobat Reader, and its associated plugins installed, causes a problem with PDF file viewing in Safari.
If Reader is installed, go to /Library/Internet Plug-Ins and remove any Adobe plug-ins by dragging them to the desktop. (This is the Library that is at the root of the hard drive and NOT the Library in your User(Home) folder.)
Restart Safari and see if it made any difference.
Moving the cursor to the bottom of the screen while viewing a PDF in Safari should bring up a small menubar with Print, Save and a couple more options

Hi everyone,
Is there a way to have Safari display a pdf file whose link is shown on a page? I'm running Safari 5.1.7 under Snow Leopard.
Sometimes you can work around this problem by ctrl-clicking on the pdf link and downloading the file (to your Desktop say), but often times the link is to an .html page and not directly to the pdf file.
Thanks for any pointers.
