    Default Cannot disable Acrobat PDF support in Safari

    I want to disable Acrobat PDF support in Safari. I open Acrobat 8.0.1, go to Preferences>Internet, and uncheck "Display PDF in browser using Acrobat 8.0.1". I click OK.

    However, when I quit Acrobat and Safari and re-opened Safari, Acrobat PDF was still enabled. I went back to Acrobat, opened up Preferences, and sure enough the "Display PDF in browser..." checkbox was checked again!

    So I unchecked it once more and clicked OK to close Preferences. I figured I'd open Preferences once more to see if it worked - and to my amazement "Display PDF in browser..." was checked again!

    It seems it is impossible for me to turn this off. Any ideas how I can disable this without uninstalling Acrobat?

    I've tried going to Help>Repair Acrobat to disable the PDF plug-in, but it doesn't appear in the list. The only plug-in listed is the one for making PDF files from Microsoft Office applications.

    Go to HD/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ and remove AdobePDFViewer.plugin.
