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.

OS/2		
---
Run the "ARO2E3O.EXE" program in the "Reader" folder.

	ACROREAD / OS2
		|___ READER 		Acrobat Reader

Distributing the Acrobat Reader Installers
===================================

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, IRIX, Digital
UNIX, or LINUX. 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
	AOSFR.TAR	The Digital UNIX platform-specific files
	HPUXR.TAR	The HP-UX platform-specific files
	ILINXR.TAR	The LINUX 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
	AOSFS.TAR	The Digital UNIX platform-specific 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.

ABCPY.INI can also be used to specify some of the behavior of the Acrobat Reader
installer such as which dialogs are displayed, the default destination directory,
and the default "program group" and to enable the installer to launch another
InstallShield script or another Windows application. It cannot be used to prevent
the display of the Acrobat Reader Electronic End User License Agreement.

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
	alphaosf		For Digital UNIX
	intellinux		For LINUX
	
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
	AOSFC.TAR		For Digital UNIX
	ILINXC.TAR		For Linux
	
4. Place the .tar file in the same directory as the other files of the 
   installer.
