No. There is no need for the user to have Reader installed on their machine. The basic process from your (the developer's) point of view is as follows: 1. Find a computer that has no version of Acrobat or Reader installed. It also needs to have a CD writer or a network connection. 2. Install Acrobat/Adobe Reader. 3. Transfer the resultant folder structure to your development machine. Place it in the folder that will form your CD image. 4. If you intend your published CD to be autorun, the relevant line in autorun.inf should read something like "open=Reader/AcroRd32.exe Home.pdf". This assumes that you have the Reader folder in the root of the CD image (folder), and that the first pdf that you want to open is called "Home.pdf". 5. Test on a variety of machines, and see what happens if a user already has Acrobat/Reader open on their machine. You might need to take this into account when writing the user instructions. I hope this helps.
