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.

o 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. o 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have a folder named "Adobe Acrobat 2.0" at the root level on the selected hard disk, the installation will remove the outdated "Acrobat(TM) Reader 2.0" application in the "Adobe Acrobat 2.0" folder and replace it with the updated "Acrobat(TM) Reader 2.0.1" application and support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 ===================

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 If QuickDraw GX is enabled, Acrobat Reader 2.0.1 requires desktop printing be turned on to print o Acrobat Reader 2.0.1 does not support Kanji or 68000-based Macintoshes

Installation instructions =========================

To Install Acrobat(TM) Reader 2.0.1:

o Double-click on the "AcroRead.mac" icon and then follow the instructions. o See "How Does The Installer Handle Adobe Type Manager (ATM) and Fonts?" below for information on ATM and font issues. o See "How much memory to give Acrobat(TM) Reader 2.0.1?" for information on optimizing performance. o 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:

o 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. o 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. o 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.] o 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. o See the QuickDraw GX Read Me for more details on QuickDraw GX operation and compatibility. o 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. o 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. o 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. o 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. o Please note that the Acrobat Reader 2.0.1 does not support Kanji or 68000-based Macintoshes. o Current product information for Acrobat is located on Adobe's World Wide Web Site at http://www.adobe.com/
