Welcome to Adobe Acrobat Reader 2.0 for Macintosh
=================================================
Adobe(TM) Acrobat(TM) 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(TM) 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.
o 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.
o If no version of system-level Adobe Type Manager is present on your
system at the time of installation, ATM(TM) 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.
o 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.
o 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.
o 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.
o 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 below for more information on QuickDraw GX issues.
o 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
===================
o Macintosh computer with 68020 (Macintosh II series) or greater
processor
o MacOS 7.0 or greater
o 2 MB application RAM
o 4 MB hard disk space
o FDHD floppy disk drive or CD-ROM player if installing from physical
media
o Acrobat Reader 2.0 is not compatible with QuickDraw GX
Troubleshooting
===============
If you experience problems with installation, consider the following:
o 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.
o If you have previously installed QuickDraw GX and then deinstalled or
deactivated it, you may need to reinstall Type 1 fonts.
o The correct process for restoring your original Type 1 font
configuration may depend on which version of the GX Enabler you
received.
o 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.
o Subsequent versions may treat outline fonts differently.
o See the QuickDraw GX Read Me for more details on QuickDraw GX
operation and compatibility.
