Acrobat 7 - disable browser PDF viewing!!

[chair_tard]

I prefer that when I am using Safari if I click on a link to a PDF that it
simply automatically download the whole PDF to the downloads folder I have
set, like it used to before installing Acrobat.

Acrobat has automatically configured PDFs to open in Safari.

I have looked in Acrobat under preferences, under internet, and the option to
"Display PDF in Browser using..." is checked... but it is greyed out and I
can't uncheck it.

How do I disable this functionality?

(I know I can control click and save to location... but I don't want to do
that... I want Safari to work with PDFs the way it did before I installed
Acrobat, which is to automatically download the PDF to my HD, not to a Safari
window.)

Please help, this is driving me crazy!!
TIA!

I would think that pref would be in Safari itself. And yes, apps can
change each other's prefs.

Just go to:Library/Internet Plug-Ins
and get rid of the file called "AdobePDFViewer.plugin"
et Voila !!!
