Welcome to Adobe™ Acrobat™ Reader 2.0 for Macintosh
Adobe™ Acrobat™ software gives you instant access to documents in their original form, independent of computer platform. With the Acrobat Reader, you can view, navigate, print and present any Portable Document Format (PDF) file.
This Read Me file contains last minute installation instructions and product information for the Acrobat Reader program. The On-line Guide (Acrobat™ Reader Help) also provides essential information to help you begin using Acrobat Reader 2.0.
INSTALLING ACROBAT READER
===========================
***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. It includes changes to the installer only - there is no change to the application itself.***
• To install Acrobat Reader 2.0 on your hard drive, double click on the file called "AcroRead.mac" and then follow the instructions on your screen.
• 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. If ATM is present in the System, the installer installs ATM LE as described (for backup purposes) and updates system ATM as described below. The ATM Font Database (required by Acrobat 2.0) is always installed loose the System folder.
• Acrobat Reader 2.0 requires either ATM version 3.6 or above (not included) at the System level or ATM LE (included) to be installed in order to run.
• Acrobat Reader 2.0r3 addresses installation issues related to different versions of Adobe Type Manager by updating most existing system-level ATM or SuperATM 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 800-83-FONTS (800-833-6687) 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. See the Troubleshooting section belowfor more information on QuickDraw GX issues.
• 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.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
=====================
• Macintosh computer with 68020 (Macintosh II series) or greater processor
• MacOS 7.0 or greater
• 2 MB application RAM
• 4 MB hard disk space
• FDHD floppy disk drive or CD-ROM player if installing from physical media
• Acrobat Reader 2.0 is not compatible with QuickDraw GX
TROUBLESHOOTING
=================
If you experience problems with installation, consider the following:
• If you downloaded the Reader from an online service or internet site, check that the file transferred properly. The binhexed version of the Macintosh 2.0 Reader self-extracting archive is exactly 1754865 bytes. Corrupted archives have been reported to issue a message "requires 68020 or greater processor to run" on Macintosh IIX systems.
• If you have previously installed QuickDraw GX and then deinstalled or deactivated it, you may need to reinstall Type 1 fonts.
• The correct process for restoring your original Type 1 font configuration may depend on which version of the GX Enabler you received.
-The QuickDraw GX installer shipped with System 7.5 places Type 1 fonts in a folder called • Archived Type 1 fonts•. Deinstalling QuickDraw GX does not reinstall these fonts in the Fonts folder.
- Subsequent versions may treat outline fonts differently.
• See the QuickDraw GX Read Me for more details on QuickDraw GX operation and compatibility.
