Do not install Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.0 unless you have 64 megs of RAM and Windows 95 B or better installed on your machine. Acrobat Reader 4.0 will work fine with 16 megs of RAM and Windows 95 A.

Our Licensing agreement with ADOBE prohibits distribution of older versions of Acrobat Reader. If you have Windows 95 A, you will need to download Acrobat Reader 4.0 from www.adobe.com.  

Note: If you use Acrobat 3.0, you will not be able to view large files, but will have to upgrade to Acrobat Reader 4.0 or better.


Installation Instructions (Windows 2000)

Installation procedures for Windows 2000 are usually the same as they are for other versions of Windows.  Older versions of our software, and the Demo CD use the standard installation software Microsoft provided with their programming languages.  This install software was not fully compatible with Windows 2000.  They have since released new installation software to resolve this problems.

Description of Problem:

  1. The install process copies the files to disk.
  2. The computer shuts down, reboots, and begins to copy the files again.
  3. Steps 1 and 2 repeat in an infinite loop.

Solution: We have a new install package we can email you to resolve this problem.


Some Documents Do Not Display

 

You are probably using Adobe Acrobat Reader 3.0.  This version of Reader cannot display some of the larger pdf files.

Solution:  Install Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.0 (included in the setup directory of your CD.

 

If the text in pdf documents appears "smudged", especially when you scroll, you are probably using an ATI Rage video adapter.  Acrobat Reader and this video adapter are not fully compatible.  The documents will print correctly on paper, but it will be difficult reading them on the screen.

 

If problems persist for further assistance.


Configuring Adobe Acrobat Reader

    Adobe Acrobat Reader will on occasion lose some settings that results in an inability to view large documents, particularly graphics intensive documents.  This only effects the browser plug-in.  You can configure the software to display the pdf file in the actual program (rather than the plug-in).  The pdf document will be displayed in a separate window.  Click here to configure.
