Question

does Acrobat cache pdfs?

I uploaded PDFs to our company website. A day later I needed to edit the pdfs. Safari continues to show the old version despite my having selected "clear history" and "empty caches" in the browser. I had someone view the files on another computer and they confirmed the new versions are being displayed yet I continue to see the old version. Might adobe's pdf viewer plugin have it's own cache separate from the browser? If so, how can I clear this. Thank you.

You should use Acrobat directly instead of using it through an Apple spyware.

What plugin does you use in Safari?

Thanks for the info and question. It appears my knowledge is out of date. In times gone by, when I installed Adobe Acrobat, it would also install a browser plugin for online viewing of pdfs. I thought this was still the case but it appears pdf view ability is now built into safari because I was unable to locate any plugin or extension associated with pdf viewing.
