The TIL on Service Source Companion CD includes more than 15,000 technical support articles that have been converted to Adobe Acrobat documents. Before you can search and read these articles you will need to install
- Acrobat Reader 2.1
- Tech Info Library Index (Tech Info Library.pdx), an Acrobat search index of the articles in the TIL
Installing Acrobat
If you have not already done so, we recommend that you return to the main Service Source CD and run the Acrobat Installer. The Acrobat Installer installs Acrobat Reader 2.1 in a folder called Adobe Acrobat on your startup drive. For more detailed instructions, refer to the Critical Information document at the top level of the main CD.
Loading the Search Index
After installing Acrobat, you must load the Tech Info Library Index. This index is named Tech Info Library.pdx on the CD. Follow these steps to load the index.
1. Launch Acrobat Reader 2.1 (or another version of Acrobat).
2. Click the search icon in the Acrobat toolbar. This icon depicts a pair of binoculars.
3. Click the Indexes... button and the Add button.
4. Navigate to the index file (Tech Info Library.pdx) and click Open (or double-click on the index). The index file is located in the Tech Info Library folder.
The Tech Info Library Index is now loaded and selected. You may now search the TIL by entering your search text in the Adobe Acrobat Search window and clicking Search.
Note: For tips about effectively searching the TIL, we recommend that you read the Acrobat document "Search Instructions." For your convenience, we have placed this document at the top level inside the Tech Info Library folder.
