revBrowser : Problems with PDFs when Acrobat's Pdfviewer plugin is installed

[Christian Langers]

Hello Scott, Ian,

you mean  a regular Safari window ?
and yes, the right-click gives the option "Open in Preview"... but  
this option does not show up in revBrowser.

I have Schubert|it (http://www.schubert-it.com/pluginpdf/) PDF  
Browser plugin installed too ; in the development environment  
revBrowser calls this plugin instead of Safari's... I was pleased  
that it did not create any problems until... I did a standalone.

In my standalone my app keeps crashing with this plugin... :-(

So I manage disabling temporarily these 2 plugins ; perhaps this will  
change in future releases of revBrowser...

Best,

Christian
