This hybrid CD-ROM contains Acrobat Reader 3.0 installers (with and without Acrobat Search) for Macintosh, Windows, and Unix. Here are the installation instructions for each platform:
Windows -- Run the SETUP.EXE program in the 16BIT (for Windows 3.x systems) or 32BIT
(for Windows 95 and NT systems) folder for the desired configuration:
QuickTime installation is only required if you are viewing PDF files with linked QuickTime
movies or sounds. Most likely, your Macintosh system already has QuickTime 2.0 or later
installed, which is required to play back QuickTime movies and sounds added to Portable
Document Format (PDF) files.
Installation of the OLE plug-in is only required if you need to view PDF documents
embedded as OLE objects in another application, such as Lotus Notes.
Unix -- For installation instructions, see the INSTGUID.TXT file in the directory for the
desired configuration (all configurations are in the same directory):
ACROREAD / UNIX
|___ READER Acrobat Reader
|
|___ RDR_SRCH Acrobat Reader + Search
For example, the Acrobat Reader + Search install script for Unix is:
ACROREAD / UNIX / RDR_SRCH / INSTALL. For more information, see the
"Acrobat Reader Installers for Unix" section below.
OS/2 -- Run the "ARO2E3O.EXE" program in the "Reader" folder:
ACROREAD / OS/2
|___ READER Acrobat Reader

Acrobat Reader Installers for Unix
=============================
ACROREAD/UNIX/READER - This directory contains files for installing Acrobat Reader onto the following platforms: SunOS, Solaris, HP-UX, AIX, IRIX, Digital UNIX, or LINUX. A single installation script senses what platform's components are present and lists those platforms as choices. The required files are the following:
INSTGUID.TXT The Reader installation guide
INSTALL The installation script
LICREAD.TXT The End-User License Agreement which is required by the
installation script
READ.TAR The platform-independent files (on-line documentation, fonts,
etc.).This file is required by the installation script.
The following files contain the platform-dependent components. If you do not want to distribute the Reader installation for a particular platform, such as Solaris, then do not inlcude that platform's file in the same directory as the other components of the installer.
AIXR.TAR The AIX platform-specific files
AOSFR.TAR The Digital UNIX platform-specific files
HPUXR.TAR The HP-UX platform-specific files
ILINXR.TAR The LINUX platform-specific files
IRIXR.TAR The IRIX platform-specific files
SSOLR.TAR The Solaris platform-specific files
SSUNR.TAR The SunOS platform-specific files
For example, to include the Reader installer for only AIX, the following files are needed in the same directory:
INSTGUID.TXT
INSTALL
LICREAD.TXT
READ.TAR
AIXR.TAR
ACROREAD/UNIX/RDR_SRCH - This directory contains the above listed files plus files specific for Acrobat Search. The additional files are:
SEARCH.TAR The platform-independent files for Acrobat Search
AIXS.TAR The AIX platform-specific Search files
AOSFS.TAR The Digital UNIX platform-specific files
HPUXS.TAR The HP-UX platform-specific Search files
IRIXS.TAR The IRIX platform-specific Search files
SSOLS.TAR The Solaris platform-specific Search files
SSUNS.TAR The SunOS platform-specific Search files
For example, to include the Acrobat Reader + Search installer for HP-UX, the following files need to be in the same directory:
INSTGUID.TXT
INSTALL
LICREAD.TXT
READ.TAR
SEARCH.TAR
HPUXR.TAR
HPUXS.TAR
Re-use of Acrobat Reader 3.0 Documentation
=======================================
You may copy and re-use text and illustrations from any or all of the Acrobat Reader documentation (including Online Guides and ReadMe files) in your own publications associated with the distribution of Acrobat Reader 3.0 software. If you do so, you must include the following attribution line: "Some portions copyrighted to and reprinted with permission from Adobe Systems Incorporated."
Customizing the Acrobat Reader Installers
====================================
You may customize the Acrobat Reader installers to install additional files such as plug-ins and help files. You cannot change the components that are built into the Acrobat Reader installer and its archives.
Windows -- The Acrobat Reader installers for Windows have the ability to copy files that are external to the installer application and archives. To trigger the blind-copy mechanism, a file named ABCPY.INI (Adobe Blind CoPY initialization file) must exist in the same folder as the installer program (SETUP.EXE) for Acrobat Reader. The ABCPY.INI file specifies the source and destination locations for each file that is copied. Details for modifying this file can be found in ABCPYDOC.INI which is in the same folder as the installer (SETUP.EXE) for Acrobat Reader. An actual example of using ABCPY.INI can be found in the Acrobat Reader + Search installer on this CD-ROM.
ABCPY.INI can also be used to specify some of the behavior of the Acrobat Reader
installer such as which dialogs are displayed, the default destination directory,
and the default "program group" and to enable the installer to launch another
InstallShield script or another Windows application. It cannot be used to prevent
the display of the Acrobat Reader Electronic End User License Agreement.
Macintosh -- The Acrobat Reader installers for Macintosh have the ability to copy files that are external to the installer application and archives. This is done by placing them in specially named folders, within the same folder as the installer application. In this way, files can be automatically copied to the Adobe Acrobat 3.0 folder on the destination hard drive. Standard folder names are:
Plug-Ins
Optional Plug-Ins
Help
1. Create a folder named (one of the choices above, exactly) at the same level as the installer application in the "Reader" folder.
2. Put the appropriate files or folders (yes, it's recursive) into the folder you've created. Please put only the same type of files as the folder name. For example, plug-ins in the Plug-Ins folder, PDF files in the Help folder, etc.
Note: The Installer checks to see if there is enough room on the target disk before installing the files in these external folders, but the copy will fail silently if there isn't enough room on the target disk. Also, the amount of space taken up by the additional files is --not-- included in the required space number in the Easy Install portion of the Installer.
Unix -- You can add your own plug-ins or documents to be installed by the Acrobat Reader for Unix installer. To do so requires you to add one or more .tar files to the directory containing the installer components containing the additional elements you would like to install .
Situation #1
==========
You have additional PDF files you would like installed into Reader/Help. Follow these steps:
1. Create a directory structure of Reader/Help and place your additional files in the Help directory. Do NOT use your Reader installation area because any files in the Help directory when you make your .tar file will overwrite files of the same name that already exist in the installed image on the user's machine.
For example, you've got a file, foo.pdf, you'd like to install into the Help directory. On your machine, set up a directory of Reader/Help/foo.pdf.
mkdir Reader/Help
cp -p foo.pdf Reader/Help
2. Change to the Reader directory.
cd Reader
3. Create a .tar file of that directory and name it CUSTOM.TAR.
The name CUSTOM.TAR should be used for any files to be installed that are platform-independent, such as help files. It is very important the files in the CUSTOM.TAR file are platform-independent.
4. Place the CUSTOM.TAR file in the same directory with the other files of the installer.
Situation #2:
==========
You want to install plug-ins for a specific platform.
1. Create a directory for that particular platform and place the correct plug-in in the directory.
The <platformdirectory> must be one of the following:
hppahpux For HP-UX
mipsirix For IRIX
rs6000aix For AIX
sparcsolaris For Solaris
sparcsun For SunOS
alphaosf For Digital UNIX
intellinux For LINUX
2. Change to the Reader directory.
cd Reader
3. Create a .tar file of that directory and name it one of the following (appropriate for the platform):
HPUXC.TAR For HP-UX
IRIXC.TAR For IRIX
AIXC.TAR For AIX
SSOLC.TAR For Solaris
SSUNC.TAR For SunOS
AOSFC.TAR For Digital UNIX
ILINXC.TAR For Linux
4. Place the .tar file in the same directory as the other files of the installer.
