The system requires a W3C compliant browser.

Macintosh OS 9 – Netscape 7 is recommended. Mac IE 5 is not recommended.

Macintosh OS X – FireFox 2+ is recommended. Safari is supported but is not recommended.

For OS 10.2.8 + (Recommended)

Install the latest version of Adobe Reader that your browser supports. This will be at least version 7.0.9 which can display PDFs "in browser" (no download to your desktop).

For OS 10.3 + (without Adobe Reader)

OS 10.3+ computers can use the Schubert PDF plug-in display PDFs in the browser window and hide the download. Go to http://www.schubert-it.com/pluginpdf/ to download and install the Plug-in.

Note: if you make use of the Schubert PDF Browser plug-in with the FireFox web browser and are using an Intel-based Macintosh computer, you may need to configure the web browser to "Open using Rosetta".

For OS 10.0 – 10.2.7

Macintosh OS 10.0 – 10.2.7 computers must be reconfigured to handle PDFs with Acrobat Reader vs. Preview. Here’s how: Use the Get Info (control click -> Get Info) option on any PDF file. Expand the “Open With:” section. Change the dropdown to Acrobat Reader. Click the “Change All…” button.

OS X computers that generate downloads can be annoying because browsers typically place all downloaded files on the desktop. It is recommended that the user change the download location if this becomes bothersome.

For OS 9-

Macintosh OS 9 can use the Adobe pdfViewer plug-in to display documents in the browser and hide the download. Download Acrobat and then if the system still does not display PDFs “in the browser” copy the pdfViewer plug-in from the Acrobat Plugins folder to the Web Browser’s Plugins folder.
