Is there a bug that would keep Adobe Reader from being functional in Safari 7.0.1?

Question

Since upgrading to OS X 10.9.1, I sometimes find that Safari cannot open a page but rather opening a black page instead. I thought I was solving the problem by removing Adobe Reader and whatever ancillary files could be found (using either App Cleaner or App Zapper)

Answer 1

Back up all data.
Remove the "cleaner" apps according to the developers' instructions. Never install them, or anything like them, again.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.
