[X-Newbies] PDF files in a browser

[Al Poulin]

What happens when you double click on a .pdf file?  With my OS X 10.3.9 
Panther, when I double click, most .pdf files open in Preview, not a 
browser.  If a .pdf file does not open this way, I usually resort to 
Acrobat Reader 7.0.7.  But Safari and Firefox can often open them too.

What version OS are you on?  Is there a particular reason you want to 
use something else?
