- INSTALLATION ISSUES
===================
If there is a failure at any point during the installation of Acrobat
3.0, the installer performs a complete uninstall. For this reason, it
is important not to pre-maturely close the installer application by
clicking on its close box in the upper-right corner of the background
window; the installer will automatically close the background window.

Installer for Windows 95 or Windows NT -
The 32-bit Acrobat Reader installer will install the following
software for use with Microsoft Windows 95 or Microsoft Windows NT:
- AcroRd32.exe, the 32-bit Acrobat Reader
- PDF.OCX, the Acrobat Control for ActiveX, which will enable
Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0 to display PDF documents
- nppdf32.dll, the Netscape plug-in which will allow Netscape
Navigator and compatible browsers to display PDF documents
If Netscape Navigator 2.0 or later is installed on your computer,
nppdf32.dll will be installed in \Netscape\Navigator\Program\plugins.
If Adobe PageMill 2.0 or later is installed on your computer,
nppdf32.dll will be installed in its plugin directory.
The installer will also place one copy of the Netscape plug-in in the
directory containing the Acrobat Reader in \Browser\nppdf32.dll. If
you would like to use the Acrobat Reader with an additional copy of
Netscape Navigator or another Netscape compatible browser, copy
nppdf32.dll to its plugins directory.
Installers for Windows 3.1 -
The 16-bit Acrobat Reader installer will install the following
software for use ONLY with Microsoft Windows 3.1 or Microsoft Windows
for Workgroups:
- AcroRd16.exe, the 16-bit Acrobat Reader for use ONLY with Microsoft
Windows 3.1 or Microsoft Windows for Workgroups
- nppdf16.dll, the Netscape plug-in which will allow Netscape
Navigator and compatible browsers to display PDF documents
If Netscape Navigator 2.0 or later is installed on your computer,
nppdf16.dll will be installed in \Netscape\Navigator\Program\plugins.
The installer will also place one copy of the Netscape plug-in in the
directory containing the Acrobat Reader in \Browser\nppdf16.dll. If
you would like to use the Acrobat Reader with an additional copy of
Netscape Navigator or another Netscape compatible browser, copy
nppdf16.dll to its plugins directory.
Due to problems with some Desktop Managers for Windows 3.1, during
installation the Adobe Acrobat program group and the Acrobat Exchange
program item may not be created. By default, the program is installed
in the directory c:\Acrobat3\Read16 and the executable is
c:\Acrobat3\Read16\acrord16.exe.
Installing Quicktime -
To allow the Acrobat Reader to play .mov files, movies or sounds
created with Apple QuickTime(TM), your computer must have the
appropriate sound and video boards installed and Apple QuickTime
software version 2.0 or later. This software can be downloaded from
http://quicktime.apple.com/qt/sw/sw.html

- WEB BROWSER ISSUES
==================
Known problems using Acrobat Reader 3.0 with Netscape Navigator 2.0,
Netscape Navigator 3.0, or Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0 include:
Many of the Acrobat Reader keyboard navigation accelerators (arrow
keys, page up/down, etc.) are not available when viewing PDF files
within a Web browser window. [142844]
When large PDF files which have NOT been optimized for page-at-a-time
downloading are downloaded over very slow transmission lines (e.g.
slow modems), the Acrobat Reader may "time-out" before the entire file
has been downloaded. Aternatively, the first page of the document may
be displayed but changing to another page could result in a blank page
being displayed until the document is fully downloaded. [143637,
179356]
"Open File" links and bookmarks to non-PDF files will not work when
activated while viewing the PDF file in a Web browser window. [147871]
When viewing a PDF file in a Web browser, the destination of an
Acrobat Weblink is not displayed in the control bar even if the
Weblink preference is set to do so. [144784]
Microsoft Internet Information Server - The Microsoft Internet
Information Server (IIS) version 2.0 distributed with Windows NT
Server 4.0 includes built-in support for byteserving (byte range
serving) PDF files. However, the shipping version of IIS 2.0 has a bug
which causes it not to return all the bytes needed to display some PDF
files (regardless of whether or not the PDF files are optimized).
Microsoft has corrected these bugs in updated versions of three
Windows NT 4.0 DLL files (httpodbc.dll, infocomm.dll, and w3svc.dll).
These updated file
