Tip: Opening Safari PDFs in Preview

open_with_preview.png

Small PDF documents display nicely in Safari, but larger documents are more comfortable to read in Preview.

But how do you get the document from Safari to Preview? If the url ends in .pdf like http://www.botanybay.com/creatures.pdf, you can save the file somewhere then open the saved file in Preview, but it’s an effort. And you can’t even do that if the url doesn’t end in .pdf.

It’s easy: just Control-click, and choose Open with Preview.
