Hi -

I'm looging for an older version of Acrobat Reader for a 16 MB, 586 system
which uses Windows 95. User is essentially a layman and all valid help
would be appreciated. Please respond to [email protected]

Thanks any have a good day.

How about getting Acrobat Reader for Windows 3.1?

You can get it from Adobes download page.

Acrobat Reader 4.05 can be found at this site:

From here, select Windows 95 as your OS and the speed of your connection.
That will present you with Acrobat 5.05 for Windows 95. I personally find
that 5.1 runs well on my P150 notebook with Win98 SE.

Eh? I'm still running Acrobat Reader 5 under XP Pro on a P4 2.4GHz - can't
stand the wait for Reader 6 to load!

Reader 6 doesn't seem to be anywhere near as fast as 5 was and the hardware
requirements are certainly higher. I wasn't talking about 6 however.

I can say that I've been very happy with 5.1's performance however.

I'd say your choice of OS might have something to do with it, but only
because I don't run XP. :)

I use Acrobat 4 on Windows 98. Does not work correctly with IE 6.0 nor supports
Mozilla Firefox. But it's faster than Acrobat 5.

Plus the search (CTRL-F) functionality is hopeless in version 6: it
occupies half the screen, has a pointless animated stripey bar, and
returns a big scroll list of matches which isn't big enough to see the
context.

I think 6 is probably also slower due to supporting unicode far-east
fonts as standard,

I am told you can greatly speed up the launch of Acrobat Reader 6 and Adobe
Reader 6 by deleting most of the .api files that come with it -- they
support rarely-used features. I'd suggest Googling for more specific
instructions before trying this.

Hmmm...Acrobat (Reader) 4 has worked just fine for me with IE6. Of course, I
had Acrobat Reader 4 installed with IE 5.01 and then I moved straight to IE
6 SP1.

There was a reason I upgraded to Reader 5 when it was released, but now I
don't recall what it was.

For me, it says 'Cannot load Acrobat External Window Handler' or words to that
effect. But since my IE isn't used anymore (moved to Mozilla)...

I had Acrobat Reader 5, but it would eat lots of memory. :/
