Installing the Asian Font Packs for Acrobat Reader 4.0

Asian Font Packs are available for Acrobat Reader 4.0. With any language version of Acrobat Reader 4.0,
you can display Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) files that contain text in Chinese Simplified,
Chinese Traditional, Japanese, and Korean (CJK). If the author of a PDF file embeds CJK fonts in the
document, then any language version of Reader 4.0 will be able to display the CJK text on any system
without additional software. If the author uses CJK fonts but does not embed them in the document, then
you will need access to the correct Asian fonts in order to view the PDF file on non-native systems. All you
need to do is install the appropriate Asian font pack for use with Acrobat Reader.

The Asian Font Packs are available on the Adobe Acrobat 4.0 Product CD, or from Adobe’s web site at:

Troubleshooting Issues

Using Acrobat 3.0 or Acrobat Reader 3.0 to view and print files created in Acrobat 4.0

You can use Acrobat 3.0 or Acrobat Reader 3.0 to view and print PDF files created with Acrobat 4.0, taking
note of the following.
* If you are viewing PDF files created with Acrobat 4.0 that contain Asian language text, you will need to
view and print these files with Acrobat 4.0 or Acrobat Reader 4.0.

* If when creating PDF files using Acrobat 4.0 the default settings in Distiller were changed to take
advantage of advanced PDF features for color management or high quality printing, you will need to view
and print these files using Acrobat 4.0 or Acrobat Reader 4.0.
* If you are authoring PDF forms in Acrobat 4.0, you will need to design these forms with backwards
compatibility in mind for it to work reliably in version 3.0.(see the Forms Javascript Guide included with
Acrobat 4.0 for details)
* If you are viewing PDF files created with Acrobat 4.0 that contains mark ups such as highlighting,
underlining, strikethrough, pencil strokes, etc. and these mark ups have associated text notes, you will need
to view these files with Acrobat 4.0 or Acrobat Reader 4.0 to be able to double click on the markings and
open and view the text notes. (General Text Notes applied to a document can be opened and read with no
issues in version 3.0)
* If you using Acrobat 3.0 or Acrobat Reader 3.0 to search an index created with Acrobat 4.0 Catalog, you
should obtain document information from the General Info dialog (accessible by selecting File>Document
Info>General) rather than the Document Info dialog (accessible from Edit>Search>Results). In some cases,
these dialogs may differ slightly.

How to make sure the Euro character will always appear in a PDF

If a PDF uses the Euro character but does not embed the font that includes this character, and this PDF is
viewed on a system that has an older version of the font installed where the Euro character is missing, the
PDF will be missing all occurances of the Euro character. To prevent this problem from occurring, when you
create a PDF using Acrobat that requires the Euro character, be sure to embed the font. If you are viewing
a PDF using Acrobat 4.0 or Acrobat Reader 4.0 that has missing Euro characters, consider updating the
fonts on your system to a newer version that contains the Euro character.

to use Internet Explorer to access the Web. Note: Netscape Navigator does not use the Internet Control
Panel)
