Hi Blake,

We would love to support the Acrobat Plug-in however it has actually  
been designed by Adobe to work specifically with Safari and only  
Safari, other browsers are just out of luck.

If you're on a PPC machine you might give Schubert-it PDF Plug-in a try:

http://www.schubert-it.com/pluginpdf/

Unfortunately this isn't Universal so it wont work if you have an  
intel machine. You can also turn on limited PDF Support in OmniWeb.  
It lacks some components such as zooming and sending to preview but  
it will display PDFs within the browser. To do this, quit OmniWeb and  
open a Terminal window. At the prompt run this:

defaults write com.omnigroup.OmniWeb5 WebKitOmitPDFSupport -bool False

Next time you launch OmniWeb it should display PDFs in the browser  
window.

Thanks!
