Important Blackboard Notice:
If you are a Safari user experiencing difficulty opening .pdf files within your Blackboard course (error message "Missing Plug-In"), please read the following instructions from Adobe (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/509/cpsid_50983.html). If you are using Firefox (error message "Click here to download plugin"), you can hold down the Option key when you click the .pdf link, and Firefox will download the file directly to your local Downloads folder. Adobe is aware of the issue and has indicated it is currently working on a more integrated solution.
