NEW FEATURES IN ACROBAT AMBER READER
====================================
For a list of features in Acrobat Amber Reader which have been
added since the release of Acrobat Reader 2.1, please see Adobe's
web site at http://www.adobe.com/Amber/ambernew.html
VIEWING PDF PAGE-AT-A-TIME OVER THE WEB
=======================================
Best viewing performance for PDF documents over the web comes from
optimized PDF files and a server with the ability to byteserve the
files. The optimized PDF format and byteserver protocol are not
yet final, so we have provided a set of demonstration files on
Adobe's server to allow you to test the page-at-a-time
performance for yourself.
See http://www.adobe.com/Amber/amexamp.html
Any non-optimized PDF file can be viewed in the Netscape window
(without page-at-a-time display) with the Amber Reader and
Netscape Navigator version 2.0 or better.
KNOWN PROBLEMS

Known problems in Acrobat Amber Reader Alpha 2 include:
You may encounter problems when attempting to view files larger
than 4 Mb from within a Web browser.
This release of VIEWER32.EXE is not fully compatible with
