required for printing using OS/2 Warp 3.0 or Warp Connect 3.0)
* 4 MB application RAM available to Acrobat Reader
* 8 MB RAM for system
* 5 MB hard disk space, plus 5 MB temporary space available
during installation
* For viewing PDF files inside a Web browser, Netscape
Navigator 2.02E or later.
Recommended:
* Pentium processor-based personal computer
* IBM OS/2 Warp 4.0
HANDLING NOTES
To decompress a ".exe" file in OS/2, double-click on the ".exe"
file or execute it from the command line by typing the filename.
INSTALLATION NOTES
To install Acrobat, it is no longer necessary to create a
temporary directory, since Acrobat now cleans up after itself.
All you need to do is execute OS2RD3B2.EXE. Depending on how you
downloaded this file, it could be anywhere on your hard
drive(s). One common location where IBM(R) WebExplorer leaves
downloaded files is C:\TCPIP\BIN. In this instance, you would
type:
C:\TCPIP\BIN\OS2RD3B2.EXE
This will start the installation program. When the first dialog
box comes up, read the screen carefully, and then click the
Continue button. The next screen will come up and ask you if you
wish to install this product. Click the OK button.
Next, the Adobe End-User License Agreement page comes up. Read
the entire document and then click on Accept if you agree to the
license, or Do Not Accept to abort installation.
Once you accept the Agreement, the Install - directories dialog
box will come up. You must make sure that the Installation
directory has enough disk drive space to hold the program. The
default directory is C:\ACROBAT3\READOS2. If you would like to
change the location for Acrobat, do so now by editing the
displayed text. Once you have chosen a directory, click the Disk
space button. If the "Bytes available" on the drive for the
directory you chose exceeds the "Bytes needed" number, click the
OK button; otherwise, select another drive, then click the OK
button. This will automatically change your installation
directory to an equivalent directory on that drive letter.
Once you have done this, you may click the Install button. When
the progress bar completes, you should see a screen that says
"The requested components of Acrobat Reader for OS/2 are
successfully installed." When you click OK, the Installer should
exit. Your installation is complete.
Once you have installed the Reader on your machine, you may
delete the self-extracting archive program (OS2RD3B2.EXE), or
you may choose to move it to a network drive for installations
for additional users. To distribute it on floppies, use the
OS/2 BACKUP and RESTORE commands (or some equivalent utility)
since the archive file is larger than what one floppy will hold.
You'll now have an Adobe Acrobat folder on your desktop.
Double-click that folder, then double-click the Acrobat Reader
program to start Acrobat. If you had trouble installing, check
the INST_L1.LOG file in the c:\os2\install directory.
ADDITIONAL NOTES
You can't execute the installer from a path that has spaces in
it. This is a problem with the IBM installer.
