Adobe Acrobat Distiller Server for UNIX ReadMe February 29, 2000 Thank you for purchasing Acrobat Distiller for Unix. This README file is accompanied by the tar file Dist-405.tar, which contains the entire release. How to install Acrobat Distiller -------------------------------- The installation script installs support for both Sparc-Solaris and Pentium-Linux. It is therefore advantageous to install Distiller on a Unix file server that is accessible to all the Sparc-Solaris and Pentium-Linux workstations on the network. To unpack and install the release do the following: 1. Login to a computer running Sparc Solaris 2.6 or later, or Pentium Red Hat Linux 6.0 or later. 2. Copy the tar file to a temp directory which has at least 100 MBytes of free disk space. Then use the "cd" command to go to that directory. If the tar file name is dist-405.tar, rename it to Dist-405.tar (notice the uppercase "D"). 3. Extract the installer from the tar file. Type this command: tar xvBf Dist-405.tar ./Distiller.install 4. Install Acrobat Distiller by running the installation script. The script will guide you through the installation process. Type this command: ./Distiller.install How to run Acrobat Distiller ---------------------------- After the installation process has finished Distiller can be launched simultaneously by different users from any Sparc-Solaris and Pentium- Linux workstations that have access to the launch directory. In the following assume that the install directory was selected to be the shared directory: /usr/shared/Adobe/Acrobat4 1. To launch Distiller from a Sparc-Solaris workstation: Prepend this directory to your search path: /usr/shared/Adobe/Acrobat4/Distiller/sparcsolaris Then type "distill -usage" to launch Distiller. 2. To launch Distiller from a Pentium-Linux workstation: Prepend this directory to your search path: /usr/shared/Adobe/Acrobat4/Distiller/pentiumlinux Then type "distill -usage" to launch Distiller. How to uninstall Acrobat Distiller ---------------------------------- In the following assume that the install directory was selected to be the shared directory: /usr/shared/Adobe/Acrobat4 1.
