| 1. What is the Adobe PDF Format?
Adobe Acrobat is a multi platform software publishing package. This means that all computers and operating systems (Macintosh, Windows, Unix and DOS) can view PDF files. Also, PDF files can be created from any application. This ensures that PDF files that you create look and print exactly the same as the original document. 2. What do I need to use PDF documents? You need a Web-capable computer, a Web browser such as Netscape or Internet Explorer, and an appropriate version of the Acrobat Reader software. The Acrobat Reader is freeware and is also available in English, Japanese, French, Spanish, and various other European languages. The software ranges from about 1 to 8 MB in size and requires a few RAM to run. Keep in mind that very large PDF documents may require additional memory. 3. Where do I get the Acrobat Reader? The software is freely available from Adobe's download page.
4. What other kind of computer(s) is the Acrobat Reader made for? As well as those listed above, it is available for Windows 3.1; SunOS, Solaris, IBM AIX, HP-UX, SGI IRIX; OS/2 Warp; and DOS which are available form the Adobe Systems site. 5. How do I configure the Reader to work with my Web browser? Installation instructions comes with each version of the reader software. When you download the software, follow the prompts that display on the screen. 6. How do I use the Acrobat Reader once it is installed? When properly installed as a plug-in or helper application for your Web browser, you need to do nothing extra to view a PDF document. When you click on the link for a PDF document, the Reader will automatically launch and display the document on your screen.
