- What's New in Acrobat Reader 2.0.1 for Macintosh
- =================================================
-
- Acrobat Reader 2.0.1 now runs when QuickDraw GX is enabled.
- Acrobat Reader 2.0.1 now includes full ATM(TM) 3.8.2.
-
- Should I Use Acrobat Reader 2.0r3 or 2.0.1?
- ============================================
-
- There are no feature differences between Acrobat Reader 2.0r3 and
- Acrobat Reader 2.0.1. You should choose to use the version
- appropriate to your system configuration. If you are
- redistributing the Reader, you should consider the system
- configurations of your intended audience.
-
- o If your system is a 68XXX-based Macintosh without QuickDraw GX,
- use Acrobat Reader 2.0r3. Acrobat Reader 2.0r3 has smaller disk
- and memory requirements, but supports fewer platform
- configurations.
- o If your system is a Power Macintosh or you have QuickDraw GX
- enabled, use Acrobat Reader 2.0.1. Acrobat Reader 2.0.1
- supports more systems, but has greater disk and memory
- requirements.
-
- Acrobat Reader 2.0r3 includes ATM LE. To enable Acrobat Reader
- 2.0r3 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 which is included with Acrobat Reader 2.0.1. The Acrobat
- Reader 2.0r3 application is not compatible with QuickDraw GX.
-
- Acrobat Reader 2.0.1 supports QuickDraw GX and includes full
- ATM(TM) 3.8.2.
-
- Before Installation
- ===================
-
- The installation process is controlled by the Acrobat Installer
- application. This installation will create a folder named "Adobe
- Acrobat 2.0" at the root level on the selected hard disk and
- install the new "Acrobat(TM) Reader 2.0.1" application and support
- files.
-
- If you already have a folder named "Adobe Acrobat 2.0" at the root
- level on the selected hard disk, the installation will remove the
- outdated "Acrobat(TM) Reader 2.0" application in the "Adobe
- Acrobat 2.0" folder and replace it with the updated "Acrobat(TM)
- Reader 2.0.1" application and support files.
-
- Note: If you would like the installation to update your existing
- Acrobat Reader 2.0 installation but it is not currently in a
- folder named "Adobe Acrobat 2.0" at the root level of your disk,
- do the following:
-
- 1. Double click on the hard disk icon to open a window to the root
- level of your disk.
- 2. Drag your current folder containing the Acrobat(TM) Reader 2.0
- application into the window you opened in (1) above.
- 3. Rename the folder you just moved in (2) to "Adobe Acrobat 2.0"
- if it does not already have this name.
- 4. Run the installation following the instructions below.
-
- The Installer will quit any running applications (after prompting
- you first).
-
- System Requirements
- ===================
-
- o Macintosh computer with 68020 (Macintosh II series) or greater
- processor
- o MacOS 7.0 or greater
- o 2 MB application RAM
- o 4 MB hard disk space
- o FDHD floppy disk drive or CD-ROM player if installing from
- physical media
- o If QuickDraw GX is enabled, Acrobat Reader 2.0.1 requires
- desktop printing be turned on to print
- o Acrobat Reader 2.0.1 does not support Kanji or 68000-based
- Macintoshes
-
- Installation instructions
- =========================
-
- To Install Acrobat(TM) Reader 2.0.1:
-
- o Double-click on the "AcroRead.mac" icon and then follow the
- instructions.
- o See "How Does The Installer Handle Adobe Type Manager (ATM) and
- Fonts?" below for information on ATM and font issues.
- o See "How much memory to give Acrobat(TM) Reader 2.0.1?" for
- information on optimizing performance.
- o See the "List of files installed" below for a complete listing
- of the files installed.
-
- How Does The Installer Handle Adobe Type Manager (ATM) and Fonts?
- ================================================================
-
- If ATM 3.8.1 or earlier is installed on your computer, the Acrobat
- Reader 2.0.1 installer will update it with ATM 3.8.2.
-
- If you do not have a version of ATM installed on your computer and
- you do not have QuickDraw GX enabled, the Acrobat Reader 2.0.1
- installer places a copy of ATM 3.8.2 in the Adobe Acrobat 2.0 /
- Fonts folder. This private copy of ATM is recognized and used only
- by Acrobat Reader 2.0.1 and uses memory only when Acrobat Reader
- is running.
-
- If TrueType versions of Times, Helvetica, Courier, Symbol, or Zapf
- Dingbats are installed on your system, they are not replaced nor
- moved. If you are using Type 1 versions of these fonts, updated
- versions of the Type 1 fonts Times, Helvetica, Courier, Symbol,
- and Zapf Dingbats will be installed in the appropriate location
- for your version of System 7.
-
- If you have QuickDraw GX installed and enabled, the Acrobat
- Exchange 2.0.1 installer will install ATM 3.8.2 in the System's
- Control Panels folder. It is not possible to use the private
- version of ATM with QuickDraw GX.
-
- Depending on whether QuickDraw GX is enabled at the time of
- installation, different versions of the Adobe Acrobat substitution
- fonts Adobe Sans MM and Adobe Serif MM (and perhaps other Type 1
- fonts) are installed. Later, if QuickDraw GX is either enabled or
- disabled, you will need to re-install Acrobat Reader 2.0.1.
-
- If you installed System 7.5 and QuickDraw GX after installing
- Acrobat Reader 2.0.1, you will need to reinstall Acrobat Reader
- 2.0.1. The QuickDraw GX 1.0 installer replaces ATM 3.8.2 with ATM
- GX (ATM 3.7), which is not compatible with Acrobat Reader 2.0.1;
- the QuickDraw GX 1.1 installer includes ATM 3.8.2, so this is not
- an issue.
-
- How much memory to give Acrobat(TM) Reader 2.0.1?
- =================================================
-
- Acrobat(TM) Reader 2.0, as it is pre-configured, is set to require
- at least 2048K bytes of memory and to prefer 3100K bytes. To
- change this, quit the Acrobat(TM) Reader 2.0.1 application if it
- is running and select its icon using the Finder. Then select "Get
- Info" from the File menu. In the Memory Requirements section of
- the dialog, the "factory" default for Minimum size is set to 2048K
- and should not be changed. The Preferred memory size is 3100K and
- may be reduced as described below.
-
- If you are using ATM 3.8.2 in the Adobe Acrobat 2.0 / Fonts
- folder, ATM allocates approximately 1000K of RAM from the Acrobat
- Reader 2.0.1 partition if there is sufficient space. If there is
- not sufficient space, ATM attempts to allocate RAM from your
- System (MultiFinder) memory (except on Power Macintosh
- configurations, which always allocate the required RAM from the
- Acrobat Reader partition.
-
- If you are using ATM in the System / Control Panels folder you can
- reduce the Preferred size by 1000K for 680x0 processors (non-Power
- Macintosh processors).
-
- Like any Macintosh program, increasing the memory size will
- benefit performance and increase the number and size of documents
- you may have open at once. Setting the "Preferred size" to 4000 (K
- bytes) should be sufficient for all but the most complex
- documents.
-
- Troubleshooting
- ================
-
- If you experience problems, consider the following:
-
- o If you downloaded the Reader from an online service or internet
- site, check that the file transferred properly. Adobe's World
- Wide Web site at http://www.adobe.com/ will list the correct
- size of the binhexed version of the Macintosh 2.0.1 Reader.
- Corrupted archives have been reported to issue a message
- "requires 68020 or greater processor to run" on Macintosh IIx
- systems.
- o Acrobat Reader 2.0.1 installs substitution fonts appropriate to
- your system configuration at the time of installation. Later,
- if you either enable or disable QuickDraw GX, you will need to
- reinstall Acrobat Reader 2.0.1 to ensure that the correct
- version of the fonts required by Acrobat Reader 2.0.1 are
- installed in their proper locations.
- o If you installed System 7.5 and QuickDraw GX *after* installing
- Acrobat Reader 2.0.1, you must reinstall Acrobat Reader 2.0.1.
- The QuickDraw GX installer replaces ATM 3.8.2 with ATM GX (ATM
- 3.7), which is not compatible with Acrobat Reader 2.0.1. [The
- QuickDraw GX 1.1 installer includes ATM 3.8.2, so this is not
- an issue.]
- o If QuickDraw GX is enabled, Acrobat Reader 2.0.1 requires
- desktop printing be turned on to print. Do not use the
- QuickDraw GX Helper to turn off desktop printing.
- o See the QuickDraw GX Read Me for more details on QuickDraw GX
- operation and compatibility.
- o Font Not Found - A font not found error may indicate that ATM
- did not have enough memory to create a substitute font.
- Increase the size of the ATM Font Cache from the ATM Control
- Panel.
- o For best printing results, we recommend you use PSPrinter 8.2.1
- (or later) driver from Adobe. PSPrinter 8.2.1 is not included
- with Acrobat Reader. Contact Adobe at 1-800-521-1976 for
- information on purchasing printer drivers.
- o If you are using the private copy of ATM in the Adobe Acrobat
- 2.0 Fonts folder (i.e. you do not have ATM installed in your
- System's Control Panels folder) background printing is disabled
- in the PSPrinter driver.
- o If you are printing to a PostScript Level 2 device using the
- Adobe PSPrinter 8.X or Apple LaserWriter 8 printer drivers, you
- need to update the Printer Info after selecting the printer
- from the Chooser in order for the printer driver to recognize
- the printer supports PostScript Level 2. If this is not done,
- Acrobat Reader will not send PostScript Level 2 information to
- the printer. During setup, make sure to select the specific
- PostScript Printer Description (PPD) file for your particular
- printer, do not selecet the "Generic" PPD if at all possible.
- o Please note that the Acrobat Reader 2.0.1 does not support
- Kanji or 68000-based Macintoshes.
- o Current product information for Acrobat is located on Adobe's
- World Wide Web Site at http://www.adobe.com/
