Use TinkerTool or MacPilot to "Disable native support for display of PDF documents"

Or add this to ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist

I tried TT but the option wasn't there. I e-mailed the author and he
said that TT only provides a feature if that feature is enabled by OS
X. Apparently this feature is not meant to be "tinkered" with. ;-)

TT just puts all these in one convenient place to enable or disable
them. It doesn't "make" them.

See my post about doing what I want in Terminal.

That option is grayed out in my TinkerTook (latest version). Any idea why that would be?
