You may have AdobePDFViewer.plugin installed. AdobePDFViewer.plugin interferes with Bookends’ WebKit-based display of pdfs. It will also prevent you from importing pdfs by drag and drop of the pdf proxy icon in Bookends Browser. Depending on which version of AdobePDFViewer.plugin and Mac OS X you are using, you may even experience crashes. You can tell that AdobePDFViewer.plugin is installed if the Bookends pdf display is solid black or contains icons for functions such as printing. To disable the plugin, launch Adobe Reader (or other Adobe products such as Acrobat) and open Preferences. Select “Internet” from the panel on the left, then uncheck “Display PDF in browser using: “.
