Two problems I'm having, one major, the other no big deal.
#1. It's not rendering pages correctly. Sometimes skips several lines in sentences.
#2. Sometimes it puts Japanese letters in some words.
Anyone else having these problems? I know it''s still just a beta, but looks real promising to me.....very fast.

Why don't pdf files open directly in Safari? Why do they download to the desktop?

Download this pdf browser plug-in. It's fantastic and should have been supplied with OS X (or Safari) in my opinion.

Because Safari is a Web browser, not a PDF viewer.
As for the Japanese characters, I'm seeing this too. I think I've figured out the problem, but not how to fix it. For some reason, Safari is trying to render ISO-Latin1 pages (such as this one) as UTF-8. This is similar enough to UTF-8 that most characters work right, but if someone uses special characters like �, �, or �, it tries to use the UTF-8 character, which thus far seems to happen to be a Japanese character for most special characters (because of the way UTF-8 works, characters following the special character tend to get "absorbed" into the Japanese, until you get to one which works the same as Latin-1; that last one is absorbed, and then things return to normal).
If you come across a page which does this, you can correct the page by using "ISO Latin-1", which is under Text Encoding in the View menu. However, you'll have to do this on every page which has this problem.
