Troubleshooting Tips
     
     CANON BJC 800 PRINTER - In order to properly print text,
     graphics, and images to this printer be sure to check the
     "Use Print Manager" option in the Printers control panel.
     
     DOT-MATRIX PRINTERS - Printing to non-PostScript dot-matrix
     printers with non-square pixels (eg. unequal resolutions
     such as 240 x 144) is not supported.
     
     MACH 32 VIDEO CARD FROM ATI - If you are using the MACH 32
     ATI card, be sure to use the 256-color mode with the Color
     Palette ON. In other words, do not use the 256- color mode
     with the color palette off. For Acrobat, make sure the
     Palette is ON.
     
     NEC ULTRALITE VERSA LINEAR DRIVER - Rotated images may
     display with artifacts when using the UltraLite Versa Linear
     640x480 256 color video driver. Solution: Use the UltraLite
     Versa 640x480 256 color driver.
     
     OS/2 - Acrobat should run in the Windows 3.1 compatibility
     mode of OS/2 2.1 and OS/2 2.1.1.
     
     PAGE CACHING - Page caching is disabled for 16-bit and 24-
     bit displays and the option is grayed out in the General
     Preferences dialog.
     
     PC TOOLS FOR WINDOWS 1.0 - No Adobe Acrobat 2.0 group is
     created and no program items/icons are created. See INSTALL
     problem above for description of workaround.
     
     PRINTING FROM FILE MANAGER - Only one PDF file at a time can
     be selected and printed from the File Manager.
     
     ROTATING PAGES - Rotating pages results in the loss of
     thumbnail images for those pages. You can regenerate the
     thumbnails by choosing Edit/Thumbnails/Create All.
     
     ROTATED/TRANSFORMED TRUETYPE FONTS - You may encounter some
     problems with displaying or printing rotated or otherwise
     transformed TrueType fonts. This is a limitation of TrueType
     and Windows. For best results, we recommend you use Adobe
     PostScript Type 1 fonts in your documents.
     
     STANDARD MODE - Acrobat Exchange 2.0 does not work in
     standard mode; you must be running Windows 3.1 in enhanced
     mode.
     
     SUMMARIZE NOTES PAGE SIZE - The page size used for the PDF
     file created with the Tools/Summarize Notes command is
     always Letter (8.5 x 11 inches) size. Changing the page size
     from the File/Print Setup menu has no effect.
     
     TRUE TYPE - TrueType fonts cannot be reencoded. Because of
     this limitation, documents that were created using some
     special characters in a Type 1 font may not display
     correctly if a TrueType version of the font with the same
     name is installed on your system. When this happens, the
     error message "Some text in the font and character 'FONTNAME
     ###' could not be displayed or printed correctly. The font
     could not be reencoded." is displayed. Since the Acrobat
     installers do not replace TrueType versions of Times,
     Helvetica, and Courier you may get this message with these
     fonts. Solution: Use the Custom Install option to install a
     Type 1 version of these fonts.
     
     WINDOWS FOR WORKGROUPS - The Windows for Workgroups Netware
     extensions (\windows\netx.com) have been known to cause
     problems with Acrobat Exchange's Open dialog, as well as
     other application's Open dialog. Solution: Contact
     Microsoft.
     
     HP LASERJET PRINTING - PCL Printing:  The printer drivers
     shipped with Microsoft Windows 3.1 for the HP LaserJet III,
     IIID, IIIP, and IIISi printers may not work well with
     Acrobat Exchange (and other applications for that matter).
     Adobe recommends you use a PCL printer driver based on the
     Universal Printer Driver V.3.1.2. Here are four ways to get
     this driver:
     
     1.  COMPUSERVE. Type "GO MSL" to get to the Microsoft
         Software Library forum. Download the file named
         "HPPCL5.EXE". Place this file on an empty, formatted DOS
         diskette then from DOS run the file to extract the driver
         and installation instructions which are in the file named
         printer.txt.
     
     2.  MICROSOFT'S BULLETIN BOARD. Microsoft's bulletin-board
         download service can be reached at 206-936-6735. It supports
         up to 9600 baud and you should set up your modem to use 8-
         bit, 1 stop bit, and no parity. Once connected, there is a
         menu-driven bulletin board. Download the file named
         "HPPCL5.EXE" and follow the same directions as above.
     
     3.  MICROSOFT. If you don't have a modem, you may call
         Microsoft directly at 206-637-7098 or 800-426-9400 and
         obtain the LaserJet III printer drivers on a diskette.
     
     4.  HEWLETT PACKARD. Again, if you don't have a modem, you
         may call Hewlett Packard directly at 303-353-7650 and obtain
         the LaserJet III printer drivers on a diskette. You may also
         use this number to obtain the latest printer drivers for the
         HP LaserJet 4, DeskJet, and PaintJet families of printers.

     If you experience problems printing to HP LaserJet printers
     in the 600-dpi mode (the newer LaserJet 4 family of printers
     have this capability) try switching back to 300-dpi mode or
     if it is equipped with a PostScript option, use the
     PostScript mode for 600-dpi printing. This 600-dpi PCL5
     printing problem does not seem specific to Acrobat.
     
     If outline-style text is printing incorrectly to a PCL
     printer (outlines printing on top of black characters) make
     the following change in the ATM Control Panel: check the
     option to "Print ATM Fonts as Graphics."
     
     To properly print certain special text effects (such as
     shadow, zoomed text, or outlined text) to non-PostScript
     printers it may be required to select the Print ATM Fonts as
     Graphics option in the ATM Control Panel. Certain printer
     drivers including the LaserJet PCL4 (Series II and higher),
     PCL5 (LaserJet III and LaserJet 4 families) and the Lexmark
     PPDS (4029 & 4029) always print black soft fonts on top of
     images and non-black text strings.
     
     Documents with various graphic images may not print
     correctly to the LaserJet 4 in PCL mode at 600 dpi unless
     the Graphics option in the Windows printer driver setup is
     set to Raster mode. To increase printer performance of
     documents formatted entirely in landscape orientation to non-
     PostScript printers the printer driver must be set in
     landscape orientation in the Windows printer setup.
     
     Postscript Printing Adobe PSPrinter 2.1.1 Driver - You may
     experience problems when printing from Acrobat Exchange 2.0
     when using the Adobe PSPrinter 2.1.1 printer driver. The
     problems occur in printing certain documents that use
     TrueType fonts or extended characters, such as typographic
     quote marks. A PSPrinter 2.1.2 update that fixes both of
     these problems should be available early November 1994. The
     PSPrinter 2.1.2 update upgrades an installed version of
     PSPrinter 2.1.1 to 2.1.2 and will be available from the
     following sources:
     
     1.  COMPUSERVE - Type "GO ADOBE" to get to the Adobe forum.
     
     2.  ADOBE BBS - A 24-hour-a-day bank of information. Dial +1-
         408-562-6839. The update will be located in the Adobe
         Acrobat Conference, Library Files section, Windows folder.
     
     3.  FTP - Adobe's ftp Server is at ftp.adobe.com.
     
     4.  WORLD WIDE WEB - Adobe's World Wide Web server is at
         www.adobe.com.
     
     5.  PHONE - Call 800-521-1976 to have the PSPrinter 2.1.2
         update disk sent to you directly. Shipping and handling
         charges may apply.
     
     Note: The update is not the complete, standalone PSPrinter
     2.1.2 driver. It will only update a previously installed
     version of PSPrinter 2.1.1.
     
     Memory Issues - If you encounter problems, such as a
     "VMerror," printing to PostScript(TM) Level 1 or 2 printers it
     may be because the printer has little available memory (for
     example, a non-upgraded LaserWriter, LaserWriter Plus,
     LaserWriter II NT or NTX). There are two potential solutions
     to this problem: 1/In the General Preferences dialog (select
     from the Edit/Preferences menu) you may choose to use Serif
     only or Sans only for font substitution. This frees up
     additional memory in the printer and chances are your
     document will print successfully. 2/The other option is to
     purchase more memory for your printer.
     
     Apple Personal LaserWriter NT - If you are using an Apple
     Personal LaserWriter NT printer that has not been upgraded
     to a Personal LaserWriter NTR, Acrobat Exchange won't be
     able to print substitute fonts. Contact your Apple dealer
     for information on upgrading your printer.
