Also students who take the CD home generally have internet access (maybe around 50%) but then it is slow and unreliable dial up access. If you want them to have the Asian font set included it is a big download that is not really practical for many people. Hence we are stuck with providing a range of installers on the CD. :-( I imagine in most large corporate environments this is not and issue and that many users would not be able to run an installer anyway. It would be handled by the IT guys as it is where I work. > >> When distributing to Mac on CD and > >> providing > >>the highest level of Reader installer possible and you want to cover > Mac > >>OS.6 up to current, means you need to provide installers for 5, 5.1 and > >> 6.0 > > To change your subscription: http://www.pdfzone.com/discussions/lists-pdf.html
