[G4] Downloading PDFs

[Robert Hazelrigg]

Actually you have almost always been able to preview PDFs in Safari  
and IE. The preview slash screen option is automatically launched the  
first time you try to open or download a PDF using your browser and/ 
or when you install Acrobat.

You can change your options in you browser prefs under helper apps in  
IE. I do not know how to change this setting in Safari.
