PDF problem on dual G5

[ThickAir]

I bought a dual 2Ghz G5 in january and since I first got it I've had problems reading PDF files in browsers. The browsers use quicktime to display the PDF and so only the first page appears with no controls available. I even have Acrobat Professional which alerts me whenever I launch it that the internet isn't setup correctly to view PDF's, it asks me if it should correct this, I click YES but nothing is fixed. I even tried creating a custom file helper in IE but to no avail. Anyone know a solution?

What browser are you using?

Internet Explorer, Safari, Mozilla, Netscape, and Opera. All the latest versions and ALL THE SAME PROBLEM

I don't see a point buying a $70 plugin for somthing OS X is built on and is supposed to handle automatically. PDF's always worked fine on my mac until this G5. I find it strange I couldn't find any info about this on apple's site as if it never happens.

Does just downloading the PDF and then viewing it separately work?

Yes. I can setup the browser so it opens the PDF in Acrobat Pro, but it would be nice to view PDF's in the browser since Apple claims OS X major feature is overwhelming support for PDF and is it's main file format. I can;t understand why Safari doesn't support it altogether. Seems stupid

Yeah I agree it's pretty stupid.

But you might have to just bare with opening them separately till you find a solution
