[Macpartners] reading PDFs - Safari & Firefox

[Bill Guarente]

Hello Partners~

Our department regularly delivers documents to library patrons using 
PDF.  Recently, the number of problems in viewing these files has 
increased.  It seems that for Windows users, the combination of Firefox 
1.0.x and Adobe Acrobat is problematic, but only for some PDFs.  Disabling 
the Acrobat plug-in and opening with AcroExch is the best work around I've 
found for that.

Safari / Macintosh users seem to have a lot of trouble.  Does any of you 
know the secrets of reading PDFs on a Mac?  I'm looking for something I can 
add to a web page to help struggling patrons.

Thanks,

~Bill
