I download and install the A.Flash Player plugin but cant' find it in the "installed plug-ins" list the the Player Plug-in.

Adobe Acrobat
Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape — from file “nppdf32.dll”.
MIME TypeDescriptionExtensions
application/vnd.adobe.x-marsAdobe PDF in XML Formatmars
application/vnd.adobe.xdp+xmlAcrobat XML Data Packagexdp

application/pdfAcrobat Portable Document Formatpdf
application/vnd.adobe.xfdfXML Version of Acrobat Forms Data Formatxfdf
application/vnd.fdfAcrobat Forms Data Formatfdf
application/vnd.adobe.pdfxmlAdobe PDF in XML Formatpdfxml

The core problem is I can't open links that open PDF documents from Safari. Any ideas why this is occurring?

    Not quite sure what your question is - I simply don't understand it.  Shouldn't you rather install Adobe Reader to deal with PDF documents?

    Please explain in more details if that doesn't answer your question.

    Your right: not clear. I'll try again. I may be in the wrong forum area of Adobe. The Safari on my PC: when I click on a link (that successfully opens on another web browser as a

    "PDF") for a PDF document (say a brochure or something similar), I get a window that has "Adobe Acrobat" in the title bar. The message in the window states "There was an error opening

    this document. This file can not be found". I have the following Adobe Plug-ins installed.

    I have "block pop up windows" off (safari preferences). The bottom line is I can't open PDF documents as a link from a web page. Do you have any idea why this may be occurring?

    I'd appreciate your comment/thoughts

    So this is really a problem with the Adobe Reader plugin, not the Flash Player plugin?  Maybe you should try in the Adobe Reader forum?

    I could ask a moderator to move this topic, but since the title mentions "Flash Player", probably nobody will touch it over there.
