Here are the files and instructions for linking the Windows version of
Adobe Acrobat to the Web Explorer. The information is courtesy of Lee
Paynter and a variety of other sources.
This package contains the following files:
ACROGO.FUL Rexx Cmd file to start a full-screen Acrobat session
Rename to ACROGO.CMD to use
ACROGO.WIN Rexx Cmd file to start a windowed Acrobat session
Rename to ACROGO.CMD to use
EXPLORE.CAP mailcap file for use with EXPLORE.INI
EXPLORE.EXT extmap file for use with EXPLORE.INI
README.TXT This file
You can choose to run Acrobat in either full-screen or windowed mode.
If you run it in windowed mode, there will be one extra file,
ACROTEMP.PDF created in your \TCPIP\TMP directory which will contain
the contents of the last Acrobat document viewed with the Web
Explorer.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR SETTING UP THE ACROBAT-WEB EXPLORER LINK:
STEP 1:
Find the EXPLORER.INI file in the \TCPIP\ETC directory and edit the
[ADVANCED] section to look like this.
[advanced]
; advanced user settings - edit with care!
;
; mailcap= specifies full path to user mailcap file
; format is: mime/type; program_name params %s
; example: image/jpeg; jview -r %s
; no wildcards allowed, no piping, no unix commands
mailcap=c:\tcpip\etc\explore.cap
; extmap= specifies full path to user extension map file
; format is: mime/type extension_list
; example: image/jpeg jpg jpeg jpe
extmap=c:\tcpip\etc\explore.ext
STEP 2:
Open the EXPLORE.CAP file in an editor and modify the path to the
ACROGO.CMD file to point to your Acrobat directory, e.g. C:\ACROREAD.
You will place the ACROGO.CMD file in this directory in Step 4.
STEP 3:
Copy both the EXPLORE.CAP and the EXPLORE.EXT file to your \TCP\ETC
directory.
Note: If you already have mailcap and extmap files for using other
viewers with the Web Explorer, you can just add the lines from the
above files to the existing files.
STEP 4:
Decide whether to run Acrobat in full-screen or windowed mode. You can
always change your mind later as long as you save both of the files
ACROGO.FUL and ACROGO.WIN. If you want to run Acrobat in full-screen
mode, rename the file ACROGO.FUL to ACROGO.CMD. If you want to run
Acrobat in a window on your OS/2 desktop, rename the file ACROGO.WIN
to ACROGO.CMD.
Copy the resulting ACROGO.CMD file to the directory containing your
Acrobat files, e.g. C:\ACROREAD.
Open the ACROGO.CMD file in an editor and modify all the paths to
point to their correct locations based on the locations of your
\ACROREAD directory and your \TCPIP\TMP directory.
STEP 5:
Open the Win-OS/2 Setup Object in your System Setup folder and make
sure that Windows is set to run in Enhanced mode and that Win-ATM is
On. Both of these are required for Acrobat to run, and this is where
it will get the settings from.
