CHAPTER 3 — PC: Installing Utilities and Drivers

Installing Utilities

This chapter covers installing utilities on Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP based

CD-ROM) to read this documentation. See “Adobe Acrobat Reader” later in this

chapter for details.

running Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP. To load the Adobe PostScript printer

drivers manually, see the CD-ROM’s Readme.pdf file and “Installing Adobe PostScript

Printer Drivers” later in this chapter. To load QuarkXPress PDFs manually, see “PDFs
