Just opened a PDF document 'in' Safari after installing Acrobat 7 Reader. I was quite (pleasantly) surprised. I know that Safari in 10.4 will support PDF reading, but Apple's implementation currently sucks, and that a whole OS release away. This is available now!

How good is it? And how is Apple planning to in Safari? This gives me a nice idea for starting a blog using pages...

Crap, I didn't see that other thread, and I hate to add to the clutter.
My frist thoughts are: yes, it is a little slow. My text anti-aliasing is also screwed up, but I think it is because I messed with that setting in Acrobat preferences.
PDF reading is built into Safari 2.0 in 10.4, but it is very low on the feature set.

Good. PDF support as a third-party plugin: the way it should be. No need to bloat a browser with a document type that doesn't work well in a browser interface anyway.

seems to be rather unresponsive initally but gets better gradually.
anyway, seems less likely to screw than the schubert-it plugin nowadays

In what way does the Schubert|it plug-in "screw"?

sorry! 
meant to say screw up - had lots of beachballing and randomness with the text from the schubert plug-in recently. I don't know whether its the plug-in or safari, but it seems to disappear with the adobe one, or at least become much more infrequent.

my experience with schubert has been generally good. I have had probs with spinning beach balls or pages not loading beyond what is visible in the screen IF I tried to open a pdf in a new tab or window that didn't have focus. Always works fine for me if I view the pdf in the active window.
Acrobat 7 is nice ... but the first time I use it after a relaunch of Safari it always makes me manually browse out to its location and identify it (its in a subfolder of my Applications folder). That's pretty annoying.
