Acrobat Reader Installers and Instructions
==========================================
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:
ACROREAD / WIN
|___ READER Acrobat Reader
| |___ 16BIT Windows 3.x
| |___ 32BIT Windows 95 and NT
| |___ QUICKTIM QuickTime 2.12 Installers
|
|___ RDR_SRCH Acrobat Reader + Search
| |___ 16BIT Windows 3.x
| |___ 32BIT Windows 95 and NT
| |___ QUICKTIM QuickTime 2.12 Installers
|
|___ DISKS Acrobat Reader (Disk-based Installer)
|___ 16BIT Windows 3.x
|___ 32BIT Windows 95 and NT
For example, the Acrobat Reader + Search installer for Windows 95 is:
ACROREAD / WIN / RDR_SRCH / 32BIT / SETUP.EXE
QuickTime installation is only required if you are viewing PDF files with linked
QuickTime movies or sounds. See the README.WRI file in the QUICKTIM folder for
installation details.
The DISKS folder contains the Acrobat Reader 3.0 installer files that may be
copied to empty, DOS-formatted HD floppy disks.
Macintosh
---------
Run the "Install Acrobat Reader 3.0" program in the "Reader" folder of the
desired configuration:
ACROREAD / MAC
|___ Reader Acrobat Reader
| |___ Reader Reader Installer
| |___ OLE OLE Plug-in Installer
| |___ QuickTime QuickTime 2.5 Installer
|
|___ Reader+Search Acrobat Reader + Search
| |___ Reader Reader + Search Installer
| |___ OLE OLE Plug-in Installer
| |___ QuickTime QuickTime 2.5 Installer
|
|___ Disks Acrobat Reader (Disk-based Installer)
|___ Reader Reader Installer
|___ OLE OLE Plug-in Installer
|___ QuickTime QuickTime 2.5 Installer
For example, the Acrobat Reader + Search installer for Macintosh is:
ACROREAD / MAC / Reader+Search / Reader / Install Acrobat Reader 3.0
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.
Distributing the Acrobat Reader Installers
===================================
You may make and distribute unlimited copies of the Acrobat Reader or Acrobat
Reader + Search software on this CD-ROM, including copies for commercial

following:
1. Acrobat Reader or Acrobat Reader + Search installer, as provided by Adobe;
2. Acrobat Reader Electronic End User License Agreement;
3. Copyright and other proprietary notices included in Acrobat Reader; and
4. The following attribution statement on any media and packaging that

Adobe Systems Incorporated. All rights reserved. Adobe and Acrobat are
trademarks of Adobe Systems Incorporated."
You are expressly prohibited from modifying the Acrobat Reader installer program
provided by Adobe or creating your own installer for the Acrobat Reader
software. You may, however, customize the Acrobat Reader installer as described
in "Customizing the Acrobat Reader Installers" below. If you distribute the
Acrobat Reader installers as provided on this CD-ROM or customize them as
described below, you will be in compliance with item 1 above.
The Acrobat Reader Electronic End User License Agreement, copyright notices, and
proprietary notices are contained in the Acrobat Reader installer program. If

You may not distribute the Search or QuickTime installer components separately;
they must be distributed along with an Acrobat Reader installer. Adobe Systems
Incorporated has licensed QuickTime for Macintosh and Windows to incorporate
in Adobe products, including Acrobat Reader. You may make copies of QuickTime
only as incorporated for use with Acrobat Reader. Any distribution of QuickTime
apart from the Acrobat Reader is subject to the restrictions specified by Apple
Computer, Inc.
There is not a Reader + Search installer that will fit on HD floppy disks.
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, or IRIX. 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
HPUXR.TAR The HP-UX 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
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.
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.
mkdir Reader/<platformdirectory>/plug_ins
cp -p fooplug.api Reader/<platformdirectory>/plug_ins
The <platformdirectory> must be one of the following:
hppahpux For HP-UX
mipsirix For IRIX
rs6000aix For AIX
sparcsolaris For Solaris
sparcsun For SunOS
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
4. Place the .tar file in the same directory as the other files of the
installer.
