What's New in Acrobat Reader 2.0r3 for Macintosh ================================================

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.

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 2.0r3" application and support files.

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 Acrobat Reader 2.0r3 is not compatible with QuickDraw GX o Acrobat Reader 2.0r3 does not support Kanji or 68000-based Macintoshes

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

To Install Acrobat(TM) Reader 2.0r3:

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 2.0r3?" 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 or SuperATM 3.8 or earlier is installed in the System/Control Panels folder on your computer, the Acrobat Reader 2.0r3 installer will update it with ATM LE (a special 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.

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 (which is included with Acrobat Reader 2.0.1). You may download Acrobat Reader 2.0.1 without charge from most online services, or call 800-83-FONTS (800-833-6687) for information on an upgrade to ATM 3.8.2 or Acrobat Exchange 2.0.

If you do not have a version of ATM installed in System/Control Panels folder on your computer, the Acrobat Reader 2.0r3 installer places a copy of ATM LE in the Adobe Acrobat 2.0 / Fonts folder. This private copy of ATM is recognized and used only by Acrobat Reader 2.0r3 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.

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 belowfor more information on QuickDraw GX issues.

How much memory to give Acrobat(TM) Reader 2.0r3? =================================================

Acrobat(TM) Reader 2.0r3, as it is pre-configured, is set to require at least 2048K bytes of memory and to prefer 2700K bytes. To change this, quit the Acrobat(TM) Reader 2.0r3 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 2700K and may be adjusted as described below.

If you are using ATM LE in the Adobe Acrobat 2.0 / Fonts folder, 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.

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 2.0r3 Reader. 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. 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 select the "Generic" PPD if at all possible. o Please note that the Acrobat Reader 2.0r3 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/
