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.
* 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.
* 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the selected hard disk, the installation will remove the outdated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
* 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
* If QuickDraw GX is enabled, Acrobat Reader 2.0.1 requires desktop
printing be turned on to print
* Acrobat Reader 2.0.1 does not support Kanji or 68000-based Macintoshes
Installation instructions
To Install Acrobat(TM) Reader 2.0.1:
* Double-click on the "AcroRead.mac" icon and then follow the
instructions.
* See "How Does The Installer Handle Adobe Type Manager (ATM) and
Fonts?" below for information on ATM and font issues.
* See "How much memory to give Acrobat(TM) Reader 2.0.1?" for
information on optimizing performance.
* 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:
* 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.
* 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.
* 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.]
* 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.
* See the QuickDraw GX Read Me for more details on QuickDraw GX
operation and compatibility.
* 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.
* 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.
* 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.
* 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.
* Please note that the Acrobat Reader 2.0.1 does not support Kanji or
68000-based Macintoshes.
* Current product information for Acrobat is located on Adobe's World
Wide Web Site at http://www.adobe.com/
