By default, Google Chrome should open a PDF in the browser and not save the PDF in the download folder to be opened by a PDF editor such as Adobe Reader. To change how Google Chrome treats PDF files in the browser follow the steps below. All your PDF files open in Adobe Reader, but you want them to open in Preview. All your JPEG files open in Preview when you’d rather they open in Photoshop. Choose Tools > Annotate > Text, then type. You can move a text box anywhere on the document. To show the font, size, and color options for text in a text box, choose View > Show Markup Toolbar, then click.

I unfortunately have to use Adobe Reader X on my Mac.

In the past, I could set Preview as the default PDF viewer in Safari, but with Adobe Reader X, that option is disabled!

I already know that I can delete Adobe’s plug-in, but I’m pretty sure it will just come back the next time the damn thing auto-updates.

The “right” way is to change that setting, which (at least in previous versions) maintained the setting through updates. How do I do it?

It turns out this is a known issue. Adobe has a knowledge base article that says:

Known issues

Reader's Preferences > Internet > Display PDF in Browser is always dimmed

• To disable Safari integration, delete the AdobePDFViewer.plugin from /Library/Internet Plug-ins
• To reenable Safari integration, rerun the installer over the current installation. Start the Acrobat/Reader X installer from the original media, and then follow the onscreen prompts to complete the installation.

Hopefully the plug-in doesn’t come back the next time Reader updates.

What I did was install a later version to reset it using the following steps:

1) Remover Acrobat Reader X2) Delete plug (AdobePDFViewer.plugin) found at /Library/Internet Plug-ins3) Go to http://get.adobe.com/reader/4) Press 'Choose a different version' under 'Select your version of Mac OS:'5) Select your operating system & language6) Choose & download Reader 9.4 NOT Reader X 10.0.17) Install Reader 9.4 7.1) Say no to the extension for safari plug in 7.2) Say no to request to set as default8) Reboot your system & preview should return to the default

Optional 9) I removed Reader 9.4 using the unistaller found in utilities and then removed any remaining folders left in applications (there was one labelled Adobe)

Hope this helps

This question is already answered and a possible solution may be found in Adobe's knowledge base article as mentioned in @Nate's post.

However, a non-destructive method to disable Adobe Reader as PDF reader in Safari is to

1. Create a new folder /Library/Internet Plug-Ins (disabled)/
2. Move the file AdobePDFViewer.plugin-deactivated from /Library/Internet Plug-Ins to the newly created folder.

This way you don't have to reinstall Adobe Reader in case you change your mind later.
