Create Adobe PDF enables you to easily create a PDF file from any application using the AdobePS 8.6 PostScript printer driver. It makes creating PDF files as easy as printing to a printer.

If you own Adobe Acrobat 4.0 for Mac OS and you use AdobePS 8.6 (the Adobe PostScript Printer driver) to print to PostScript devices, Adobe recommends that you install Create Adobe PDF.

After you install Create Adobe PDF, you can select a special printer called "Create Adobe PDF" from within the Page Setup or Print dialog of AdobePS 8.6.

The Adobe PostScript Printer Driver (AdobePS) allows you to generate Acrobat Portable Document Format (PDF) files from AdobePS with the help of Acrobat Distiller.

Here are some key features of "Adobe PDF Printer Driver Plugin":

· Capability to generate an Acrobat Portable Document Format (PDF) file from AdobePS
· Capability to setup and select an "Acrobat PDF" custom printer from AdobePS printer menu
· Capability to set Acrobat Distiller options affecting the type of PDF file produced from Acrobat Distiller.

If you own Adobe(R) Acrobat(R) 4.0 for Mac OS, these plug-ins will give you added functionality previously available only in Acrobat 4.0 for Windows(R). Delivered in a single installer, the four plug-ins are Web Capture, Digital Signatures, Compare Pages, and Send Mail.

Adobe Reader Speed-Up significantly decreases the amount of time required for Adobe Reader to start by disabling most of the least used plugins.

Plugins can be freely enabled and disabled, if required.

Adobe Reader Speed-Up has been created as an effort to automate
the process of speeding up Adobe Readers launch time by
disabling the majority of plugins that are completely useless for most users.

This software supports the speed-up of the following:
(Note: CE, free, and full versions are supported)

Adobe Acrobat 3.0
Adobe Acrobat 4.0
Adobe Acrobat 4.0.5
Adobe Acrobat 5.0
Adobe Acrobat 5.1
Adobe Acrobat 5.5
Adobe Acrobat/Reader 6.0
Adobe Acrobat/Reader 6.0.1
Adobe Acrobat/Reader 6.0.2
Adobe Acrobat/Reader 7.0.0 / 7.0.1 / 7.0.2 / 7.0.3
Adobe Acrobat/Reader 7.0.4 / 7.0.5 / 7.0.6 / 7.0.7
Adobe Acrobat/Reader 7.0.8
Adobe Acrobat/Reader 8.0.0

In other words, any version of the Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Reader software - both Normal and Full/Professional - from 3.0 and upwards should be supported.

Notice: Since v1.20, ARSU stores unused plugins in the Optional folder of Acrobat/Reader. This means that when a PDF is viewed and Acrobat/Reader requires a plugin for full functionality, itll be loaded
automatically for that particular PDF only.

To remove Adobe Reader Speed-Up from your system, simply quit
the application and delete its directory.

You may not know what a PDF file is, but youve probably come across one at some point. PDF files are used by companies and even the IRS to distribute documentation and other pieces of information about their products, and Adobe Acrobat Reader is the essential interpreter.

Acrobat integrates directly with your Web browser, so if you come across a PDF document on the Web, you will be able to view it directly from within your Netscape or Internet Explorer browser window. Acrobat also makes printing much more practical, by guaranteeing that the printout will look exactly like it does on your screen.

Here are some key features of "Adobe Reader":

· Submit Adobe PDF forms that are created with fillable form fields in such applications as Adobe Acrobat Professional and Adobe Form Designer
· Play back a variety of embedded multimedia content, such as QuickTime and MP3 files
· Read and organize high-fidelity eBooks
· Activate search and accessibility capabilities built into your PDF files
· Display Adobe Photoshop? Album slide shows and electronic cards and export images for online photo processing (online photo services vary regionally)
