A fix for Safari 3 beta crashes on PDF links

Safari 3 Beta kept crashing on PDF links for me. I found and removed an old Adobe PDF viewer plug-in, and all is well again. Use the Finder's search feature to locate AdobePDFViewer.plugin (it should probably be found in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/), and delete it. Restart Safari 3, and the crashes may be gone.

In Adobe Reader 7.0.8 Preferences->Internet->'​Display PDF in browser when using' should be unchecked. Tiger 10.4 (ppc) or later - File size: 60 KB
