I am using Safari 2.0.4 and have Adobe Reader 7.0.8 installed but Safari insist on using version 5 which offten fails to give a full screen display.
I have failed to find any way of getting a full display from PDF files unless I save them and reload outside Safari.
Is there a way of getting Safari to use the later version of Adobe Reader or upgrade the plugin inside Safari?

Well, I don't see why you would even leave version 5 installed. Anyway, Open "Preferences" from Reader's application menu, select "Internet", then, where it says "Display PDFs in browser using", select the latest version of Adobe Reader.

Thanks for that info.
I may have jumped the gun a bit, what was troubling me was a PDF display of only half the screen, top half, and was unable to get it to full screen. It appeared Safari was using v5 but I failed to find from where, i assumed it was internal to Safari. I am now using v 7.0.8 but it still show these half screen pages but it now appears to be from only one or two sources, other PDFs display normally. The problem seems to be with the PDF file. What I find strange is that if I save the file it will then display correctly.
Does anyone know of this problem and if there is a way round it?
