- Welcome to the Adobe Acrobat CD Sampler
-
- This Read Me file contains installation instructions and product
- information for the Acrobat Reader program. The On-line Guides
- (Acrobat Reader Help) also provides essential information to help
- you begin using Acrobat Reader 2.0.
-
- Adobe Acrobat 2.0 users may use the WELCOME.PDF and TOC.PDF
- files on this CD-ROM. These files include cross-document links,
- a new feature in Acrobat 2.0. Cross document links provide a means
- of opening additional documents to aid in accessing information.
-
- A searchable, full-text index of all of the PDF files on this CD-ROM has
- been included and is accessible to Adobe Acrobat 2.0 users. When creating
- the index, the Word Stemming and Sounds Like options were disabled to
- allow easier use with multiple language files. To take advantage of this
- index and other features of Adobe Acrobat 2.0, fax the coupon contained
- in the AcroCoup.pdf file on this CD-ROM.
-
- Adobe Acrobat 1.0 users may view and print either of these files, but
- will not be able to utilize the cross document links. Cross document
- links are features of Adobe Acrobat 2.0 products. Acrobat 1.0 software
- users may print the TOC.PDF file. This file contains document descriptions,
- as well as path names for the content on this CD. A few PDF files have been
- secured (such as printing disabled) with the new Acrobat 2.0 security
- feature. With Acrobat Reader 1.0, these documents can be opened but
- appear as blank pages.
-
- You must have Acrobat software installed on your computer to make use of
- the Portable Document Format [PDF] files on this CD-ROM.
-
- Follow the instructions below to install the Adobe Acrobat Reader software.
-
-
- INSTALLING ACROBAT READER
- ===========================
- WINDOWS:
- - To install Acrobat Reader 2.0 on your hard drive, from the Windows
- Program Manager, choose Run from the File menu; type
- [drive]:\acro_v2\english\acrowin\acroread.exe
- - Follow the instructions on your screen.
- - If you are using a network-based copy of Windows, see the instructions
- below.
-
- MACINTOSH:
- ***Acrobat Reader 2.0r3 addresses installation issues related to different
- versions of Adobe Type Manager by updating any existing system-level
- ATM older than version 3.8.1***
-
- - To install Acrobat Reader 2.0 on your hard drive, double click
- on the file called "AcroRead.mac" in CD_SAMPLER:ACRO_V2:ENGLISH:ACROMAC
- - Follow the instructions on your screen.
- - Installation requires approximately 3 MB of free space on the
- active drive.
-
- - If no version of system-level Adobe Type Manager is present on
- your system at the time of installation, ATM LE (a special version
- of Adobe Type Manager 3.8.1) is installed with Acrobat Reader 2.0 for
- use by Acrobat only. ATM LE is placed in the Fonts folder within the
- Adobe Acrobat 2.0 folder. The ATM Font Database is installed at the
- root level of the System folder.
- - If ATM LE is removed after installation, Acrobat Reader 2.0 requires
- ATM version 3.6 or above, not included, to be installed.
- - Acrobat Reader 2.0r3 addresses installation issues related to
- different versions of Adobe Type Manager by updating most existing
- system-level ATM older than version 3.8.1. It will not update ATM GX
- (ATM 3.7), ATM 3.5.1J or ATM 3.8 (on Power Macintosh, Kanji, or active
- QuickDraw GX systems) -- see next item.
- - Please note that to enable Acrobat Reader 2.0 and ATM LE to fit on
- a single floppy, ATM LE does not include support for QuickDraw GX,
- Kanji, or 68000-based Macintoshes, and does not have native Power Macintosh
- code for improved performance on Power Macintoshes like the full version
- of ATM 3.8.1 (which is included with Acrobat Exchange 2.0). Please call
- one of the Technical Support numbers listed below for information on an
- upgrade to ATM 3.8.1 or Acrobat Exchange 2.0.
- - Acrobat Reader 2.0 is not compatible with QuickDraw GX. You will need
- to disable the ATM GX control panel and the QuickDraw GX extension.
- You can use Extensions Manager from the Control Panel to do this, or
- remove these files from their locations.
- - ATM LE allocates approximately 576K of RAM from Multi-Finder memory
- when it is initialized by Acrobat Reader. If Virtual memory is on,
- ATM LE cannot use Multi-Finder memory, so an additional 576K memory must be
- allocated to Acrobat Reader.
-
- DOS:
- - To install Acrobat Reader 1.0 on your hard drive, make the CD-ROM
- the default drive. Then type:
- cd ACRO_V1\ACRODOS and press Enter
- Type INSTALL and press Enter

- ls
- - For more detailed instructions, print out the Getting
- Started Guide from the file getstart.ps
- - Solaris 2.3: the volume name is "CD_SAMPLER", not "adobe"

- you have Acrobat Exchange 2.0, follow the instructions on the "Network
- Installation" card included with Acrobat 2.0. If not, follow the
- directions below:
-
- To install the first copy of Acrobat Reader on a computer that
- uses a network-based copy of Windows:
- 1. Make sure that nobody is using the copy of Windows you will use to
- install Acrobat Reader.
- 2. Start Windows. If Windows is running quit all applications.
- 3. From the Windows Program Manager, choose Run from the File menu; type
- [drive]:\acro_v2\english\acrowin\acroread.exe /a and press Enter.
- (The /a switch indicates that you are installing an administrator's version.)
- 4. Follow the instructions on your screen.
-
- After you install the administrator's version of Acrobat Exchange or Reader,
- other users can follow the standard installation instructions to install
- Acrobat Reader on computers that share the same copy of Windows.
