Apple: Adobe PDF Plug-in in Safari

<< Configuring Acrobat to display PDF files in Safari >>
The AdobePDFViewer plug-in is used to display PDF files in Safari using Acrobat and Reader. This plug-in is installed as part of the Acrobat X or Reader X installation. The location of this plug-in is:
 /Library/Internet Plug-ins/AdobePDFViewer.plugin

<< Troubleshoot Known Issues >>
Reader's Preferences > Internet > Display PDF in Browser is always dimmed
*  To disable Safari integration, delete the AdobePDFViewer.plugin from  /Library/Internet Plug-ins
*  To reenable Safari integration, rerun the installer over the current installation. Start the Acrobat/Reader X installer from the original media, and then follow the onscreen prompts to complete the installation.

Uninstalling an older version of Acrobat or Reader after Acrobat X or Reader X has been installed removes the AdobePDFViewer plug-in
If Acrobat X or Reader X is installed alongside an older version of Acrobat or Reader, removing the older version removes the AdobePDFViewer plug-in.

To reenable Safari integration, rerun the installer over the current installation. Start the Acrobat/Reader X installer from the original media, and then follow the onscreen prompts to complete the installation.

Older versions of the AdobePDFViewer plugin can overwrite newer versions of the plug-in
Having multiple versions of Acrobat or Reader installed on the same system can cause plug-in conflicts. For example, suppose you have both Acrobat 9 and Acrobat X on your system and Acrobat 9 gets updated. In this case, the Acrobat 9 version of the AdobePDFViewer plug-in can overwrite the Acrobat X version of the plug-in. To correct the issue, follow these steps:
1.  Remove the previous version of Acrobat or Reader.
2.  Reinstall Acrobat X or Reader X from the original media.
