OT: Including Acrobat Reader on Manual CD-ROM
I'm pretty sure you can't do this with recent Reader versions for Windows. We used to, but now we provide an installation file and I'm pretty sure we changed because the software required the change. As you may have guessed, I don't deal with this bit of our process. The person who does is on leave now, but I could get more info from him in a fortnight if you want me to. Cheers, Rebecca >>> "David Bills" 04/13/06 12:21 PM >>> Hi Everyone, I'm familiar with providing an Acrobat Reader installation file on the manual CD-ROM, but I just received an RFP that specifies, "Each CD-ROM shall have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed to enable the user to read the manual by using the CD-ROM only." I spent some time searching Adobe's Web site, but didn't find any information on a version of Acrobat Reader that runs directly from the CD-ROM. If anyone is aware of where I can find this information on Adobe's site, would you please send me the URL.

Including Acrobat Reader on Manual CD-ROM
Hmm. They more than likely meant that they didn't people to install software on their computer just so they could read the files on the CD. Seems to me: 1. Whoever wrote the RFP may have limited/no understanding of the requirements of multiple platforms when publishing on CDROM. 2. Whoever wrote the RFP possibly assumes the CDROM will only ever be run on one platform. 3. Whoever wrote the RFP may not understand that a program is often integrated with its OS, which makes it difficult to distribute a program that has not been installed into that environment. Of course, there are more programs around than just Reader that can open and display the contents of a PDF. Depends on what other features they need, like bookmarks, etc. And it depends on what platform(s) you are distributing for.

Including Acrobat Reader on Manual CD-ROM
If there's no information on running Reader from a CD-ROM on the Adobe site, and it's not mentioned in the license, and no mention especially in the distribution requirements, it's a good bet that Adobe doesn't want their product to be distributed this way, even if it runs. Although Reader is free, it's not without licence requirements.

RE: Including Acrobat Reader on Manual CD-ROM
When I installed Reader on the CD as I described previously, I called Adobe and asked if it was ok to do it that way. I was assured that it was fine. All they wanted was to make sure that we did not change any of their files. But again, that was several years ago. It's probably a good idea to call Adobe and ask.

MORE: Including Acrobat Reader on Manual CD-ROM
I forgot to mention that if Acrobat Reader is already installed on a user's system, it does not matter what platform it is. Any PDF file can be read by any version of Acrobat Reader, the same way an FM file is portable across W, U, and M platforms. BTW, I do not mean any release of PDF can be read by any release of Reader. For example, I don't think you can open a PDF 1.5 file with Acrobat Reader 3.0. - Diane -Original Message- >From: Diane Gaskill <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Sent: Apr 12, 2006 9:07 PM >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], framers@lists.frameusers.com >Subject: RE: Including Acrobat Reader on Manual CD-ROM > >Dave, > >I've done what your RFP asks for, but it was with an older version of Acrobat >Reader. >I installed Reader on the hard disk and then just copied the entire tree to a >CD.

MORE: Including Acrobat Reader on Manual CD-ROM
I forgot to mention that if Acrobat Reader is already installed on a user's system, it does not matter what platform it is. Any PDF file can be read by any version of Acrobat Reader, the same way an FM file is portable across W, U, and M platforms. BTW, I do not mean any release of PDF can be read by any release of Reader. For example, I don't think you can open a PDF 1.5 file with Acrobat Reader 3.0. - Diane -Original Message- >From: Diane Gaskill >Sent: Apr 12, 2006 9:07 PM >To: alan at alphabyte.co.nz, framers at lists.frameusers.com >Subject: RE: Including Acrobat Reader on Manual CD-ROM > >Dave, > >I've done what your RFP asks for, but it was with an older version of Acrobat >Reader. >I installed Reader on the hard disk and then just copied the entire tree to a >CD.

RE: Including Acrobat Reader on Manual CD-ROM
If there's no information on running Reader from a CD-ROM on the Adobe site, and it's not mentioned in the license, and no mention especially in the distribution requirements, it's a good bet that Adobe doesn't want their product to be distributed this way, even if it runs. Although Reader is free, it's not without licence requirements.

Dave, I've done what your RFP asks for, but it was with an older version of Acrobat Reader. I installed Reader on the hard disk and then just copied the entire tree to a CD. It worked fine. However, Adobe has added security features to most of its products and I cannot say whether this method will work with the current version of Acrobat. But it's worth a try.

I would expect that whoever wrote the RFP has no question about platfrms, and since you are documenting the software, that you already know exactly what platform the users will have. Incidentally, I also included a readme.txt file on the CD that provided the link to the Acrobat Reader page on Adobe's website in case the users ran into any problems with the installed application.

Including Acrobat Reader on Manual CD-ROM
Dave, I've done what your RFP asks for, but it was with an older version of Acrobat Reader. I installed Reader on the hard disk and then just copied the entire tree to a CD. It worked fine. However, Adobe has added security features to most of its products and I cannot say whether this method will work with the current version of Acrobat. But it's worth a try. BTW, the product I had documented ran only on a Windows system so there was no question regarding platforms. I would expect that whoever wrote the RFP has no question about platfrms, and since you are documenting the software, that you already know exactly what platform the users will have. Incidentally, I also included a readme.txt file on the CD that provided the link to the Acrobat Reader page on Adobe's website in case the users ran into any problems with the installed application.

RE: Including Acrobat Reader on Manual CD-ROM
Hmm. They more than likely meant that they didn't people to install software on their computer just so they could read the files on the CD. Seems to me: 1. Whoever wrote the RFP may have limited/no understanding of the requirements of multiple platforms when publishing on CDROM. 2. Whoever wrote the RFP possibly assumes the CDROM will only ever be run on one platform. 3. Whoever wrote the RFP may not understand that a program is often integrated with its OS, which makes it difficult to distribute a program that has not been installed into that environment. Of course, there are more programs around than just Reader that can open and display the contents of a PDF. Depends on what other features they need, like bookmarks, etc. And it depends on what platform(s) you are distributing for.
