Ok.. this bugs me. I have disabled the Adobe Acrobat plug-in for  
Safari but Safari still opens PDFs linked to on the web inside  
itself. I really hate this!! (but apparently not enough to work for  
myself out how to disable it!!)

Safari is a web-browser, not a PDF reader!! And a large PDF can  
really slow Safari down in a way that it won't if it's downloaded  
separately and opened in Preview. What I'd really like is for a PDF  
to be downloaded to a temp directory or browser cache and opened in  
Preview from there. But I'd be happy to accept Safari's previous  
behaviour of downloading the PDF to the Desktop and opening it - does  
anyone know how to achieve this, please?
