Better browser integration with Adobe Reader 6.0 for Mac OS X

I upgraded Adobe Reader to version 6.0 the other night and it seems to work much better. Admittedly I'm not sure what has changed functionally, but the new version now integrates with browsers like Safari. In the past, downloading PDFs always popped up Apple's Preview application and I could never work out how to change this. Now, Reader 6.0 pops up instead, which I think is much better.

I'm suprised you like Acrobat Reader better. I'm waiting for my 15" Pb to switch my primary OS over, but preview was featured heavily in the Panther demos, and seemed to have incredible speed. I'd imagine preview would be well integrated with Safari in Panther.

Yes, Preview is pretty quick, but feature-wise it doesn't even compare to Acrobat Reader. A good example is the ability to search for text in a PDF file, copy text, etc.
