Are you using Acrobat? If so goto HD:Library:Internet Plug-ins: and do
a control click on AdobePDFViewer.plugin and select compress, then
trash that AdobePDFViewer.plugin. Relaunch Safari and check and see if
things work alright. If you ever want to try the AdobePDFViewer.plugin
again, then uncompress it.
