may cause Acrobat Reader to crash. Solution: Turn off Page Caching in the
Edit > Preferences > General dialog.
HP DESKJET 500C This printer has an unprintable area near the top of the
page. Be sure to use the Shrink to Fit option in Acrobat ReaderÆs Print
dialog.
FONT NOT FOUND A font not found error may indicate that ATM did not have
enough memory to create a substitute font. See the Improving Performance
section of this file for information on how to increase the memory available
to ATM (if installed).
INSTALL Due to problems with some Desktop Managers, during installation
the Adobe Acrobat program group and the Acrobat Reader program item may
not be created. By default, the program is installed in the directory
c:\acroread and the executable is c:\acroread\acroread.exe.
LOTUS NOTES When you open an embedded PDF file from a Notes database,
the Acrobat Reader window seems to flicker slightly. This is because Lotus
Notes is giving Acrobat Reader OLE instructions to Show, Hide, then Show
the PDF document.
MACH 32 VIDEO CARD FROM ATI If you are using the MACH 32 ATI card, be
sure to use the 256-color mode with the Color Pallette ON. In other words,
do not use the 256-color mode with the color pallette off. For Acrobat,
make sure the Pallette is ON.
NEC ULTRALITE VERSA LINEAR DRIVER Rotated images may display with artifacts
when using the UltraLite Versa Linear 640x480 256 color video driver.
Solution: Use the UltraLite Versa 640x480 256 color driver.
NUMBER 9 VIDEO DRIVER When Acrobat ReaderÆs page caching is enabled, if
you experience horizontal lines running across the page try turning off the
turbo mode in the #9GXE video driver. This can be done via the Turbo menu
in the program ô#9GXE Statusö available in the ô#9 Hawkeye Control
Panel.
OLE When viewing a PDF file which is an embedded OLE object, you can
only perform an incremental save, not a full save. Operations which
require a full size are things like inserting another PDF file. As a
result, you cannot perform this operation on an embedded OLE object.
OS/2 Acrobat Reader should run in the Windows 3.1 compatibility mode
of OS/2 2.1 and OS/2 2.1.1.
PAGE CACHING ù Page caching is disabled for 16-bit and 24-bit displays
and the option is grayed out in the General Preferences dialog.
PATTERNS Files produced by the Acrobat Distiller containing patterns
may display slowly and cause memory shortages. This can often be the case
when applications represent patterns as thousands of small Type 3 font
characters. If you experience this problem, it is recommended to use
color rather than pattern fills.
PC TOOLS FOR WINDOWS 1.0 No Adobe Acrobat group is created and no
program items/icons are created. See INSTALL problem above for description
of workaround.
PHONENET PhoneNet does not properly map Macintosh file names containing
upper-ASCII characters. As a result, you will not be able to open any such
files in Acrobat Reader. Solution: DonÆt use special characters in file
names to be accessed by both Macintosh and Windows users over a
PhoneNet network.
PRINTING FROM FILE MANAGER Only one PDF file at a time can be selected
and printed from the File Manager.
ROTATING PAGES Rotating pages results in the loss of thumbnail images
for those pages. You can regenerate the thumbnails by choosing
Edit/Thumbnails/Create All.
ROTATED/TRANSFORMED TRUETYPE FONTS You may encounter some problems with
displaying or printing rotated or otherwise transformed TrueType fonts.
This is a limitation of TrueType and Windows. For best results, we recommend
you use Adobe PostScript Type 1 fonts in your documents.
STANDARD MODE Acrobat Reader 2.1 does not work in standard mode; you
must be running Windows 3.1 in enhanced mode.
SYSHOOK Syshook is an application that patches the system menus of
applications; it does not work well with Acrobat Reader.
TRUE TYPE TrueType fonts cannot be reencoded. Because of this limitation,
documents that were created using some special characters in a Type 1 font
may not display correctly if a TrueType version of the font with the same
name is installed on your system. When this happens, the error message
ôSome text in the font and character 'FONTNAME ###' could not be displayed
or printed correctly. The font could not be reencoded.ö is displayed. Since
the Acrobat installers do not replace TrueType versions of Times, Helvetica,
and Courier you may get this message with these fonts. Solution: Use the
Custom Install option to install a Type 1 version of these fonts.
WINDOWS FOR WORKGROUPS The Windows for Workgroups Netware extensions
(\windows\netx.com) have been known to cause problems with Acrobat Reader's
Open dialog, as well as other applicationÆs Open dialog.
Solution: Contact Microsoft.
WRONG COLORS If the colors on your monitor seem completely wrong,
try the following. In the Acrobat Reader's ini file (c:\windows\acroread.ini)
try changing the line 'IS8514=4' to 'IS8514=105'.
