Ridding Safari of Acrobat

proximityeffect

I had to install Adobe Acrobat as a plug in to Safari for a class I was teaching last semester (for some reason, Safari's built in PDF reader doesn't work with the Blackboard Educational Suite).

I'm done with that and want to return to Safari's built in PDF reader and get rid of Adobe products.



I'm having trouble getting things back to normal- Acrobat still wants to read the PDFs even though there is no Acrobat on my computer. How do I get things back to normal?



Thanks-

Open up Adobe Acrobat, go to preferences, there will be a preference to enable/disable the web plug-in. Disable it. The default Preview plug-in in Safari will kick-in in the absence of the Adobe plug-in.

Thanks for the quick reply, but that's not working (I should also let you know that I meant adobe reader, not acrobat.

Go to /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ and delete the adobe pdf viewer plug in. Restart Safari.
