PDFs on a web page in Safari used to open up in Acrobat, I think in a seperate page. That was fine with me. Now the page is still a Safari page, but is black, blank. I understand there may be conflicts between Acrobat and Reader. I have Acrobat 7.0 Pro in CS2, and Reader 9.0. The chart at http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/333/333223.php says there is no conflict. Both my Reader and Acrobat are set to open Acrobat from web pages. However, all I get is a black, blank page. If I switch the Preferences to Reader, it does work, however, I want to use my Acrobat 7.0 Pro. It is a more complete program, yes?
Shall I Uninstall Reader?
Where do I go to tell Safari to open PDFs in a separate window?
Thanks for any help on this.
The issue maybe associated with either or both of:
--| Having different release versions of Acrobat/Adobe Reader.
--| Having Acrobat 7.x with Safari.
I've had no problems with using the same release versions of Acrobat/Adobe Reader in Windows OS.
On the occasion that I "mixed" - problems (I "knew better" ... but ).
So, perhaps, you need to remove Adobe Reader 9.
This may discomboogle some of what Acrobat 7 relies upon.
If so, you may have to deactivate & reinstall (if a 'repair' does not do it for you).Regarding Safari -
This TechNote appears to indicate that at least release 8.x is needed (?).

Oh yes, good to know ...
With one (Reader or Acrobat) is installed & you start install of the other - pay attention to the dialogs.
Should be one that identifies you already have "x" installed for viewing PDF - do you want to leave it as default or set the application being installed as default.. (or words to that affect).
Make your choice there. Later is, effectively, too late.
