Hello. I can't seem to view some PDFs in certain websites.

The most important one being Rogers for viewing my online bills.

I'm guessing it's actually a problem with the website, but I thought I'd post here anyway because someone might know something.

When I go to the page that has the PDF element, Safari just shows the lego block with the question mark meaning that the plug in cannot be found.

But it's there and it does work on other websites.

Any ideas?

It works in Windows when I reboot the Mac using Windows. Actually, it works in Firefox. I guess they haven't put PDF support in the Mac version yet.

Anyways... so maybe it's a problem with the website, or maybe it's a problem with the Mac plugin, because it does work in Windows.

Anyone have any answers?
