Hi Karen:

You need to upgrade to Adobe Reader 8.0.x.  When installing, you will  
be prompted that Reader can provide additional capabilities if you  
install extras and by default, Adobe PDF viewer Safari plugin is  
checked.  The installer will automatically install the Adobe PDF  
Viewer at /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/AdobePDFViewer.plugin)

The next time you launch a PDF file in Safari, it will be opened by  
Adobe Reader 8 and not Preview.

To obtain the reader:

I hope this helps.

Cheers,
