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
- Follow the instructions on your screen.
UNIX:
- Become superuser (root).
- SunOS 4.1.3: If you haven't already done so, mount the CD-ROM:
mkdir /cdrom
mount -rt hsfs /dev/sr0 /cdrom
cd /cdrom/acro_v1/acrounix/acroread
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"
as listed in the Getting Started Guide (getstart.ps)
- run the installation script by typing:
./easyinst.rdr
to accept the default installation, or
./install.rdr for a custom installation.

INSTALLING ACROBAT READER FOR WINDOWS ON COMPUTERS THAT SHARE A
NETWORK-BASED COPY OF WINDOWS
Installing Acrobat Reader 2.0 on computers that share a network-based
copy of Windows is a two step process. First, from a computer that
shares the network-based copy of Windows, you install the administrator's
version of Acrobat Exchange or Reader. Then, other users who share the
same copy of Windows install the standard version of Acrobat Reader. If
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.
