unfortunately, it's not a universal binary.

That's what I get for being behind the times.

I'm not sure if it's the same problem, but recently I had a problem
reading a PDF with Safari. It gave an error message when trying to
download a PDF from a website (something about being unable to download
the file--and the Activity window indicated an error), but it downloaded
it anyway and displayed the file. However, it was impossible to print
the file.

What fixed it was going to Preferences in Adobe Reader. I chose the
Internet category and unchecked the box that said to display PDFs in a
browser using Adobe Reader (the plugin, apparently). Using Safari's
built-in PDF capability works fine. No more error messages, no more
inability to print the file.

Well, there you go. Throw it out! PDF reading is built in to Safari. The
"suddenly" was probably Adobe installing the plugin.

Without the Adobe plug-in, how could I fill out a PDF form online?
