Step by Step Instructions for installing Adobe Acrobat Reader:

Back to Morrison Media LLC Homepage

Note: Adobe Acrobat Reader is a standard, free piece

of software that is probably already installed on your

computer.  However, we do realize that some of our 

users need extra help.  We hope the following steps

will assist you in using our product.

1. If you need to install Acrobat reader, follow the steps 
below: Visit the following page on the Adobe website: 
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html

2. Once on that page, select the language you would like to 
use.

3. Select the operating system you are using on your 
computer: for example, Windows 2000/98/95/3.1, Mac, 
Linux.

4. Enter your email address (Adobe will not let you 
download Acrobat without entering your email address).

5. Click on the download button.

6. A window will pop up on your browser, asking if you 
would like to run the program from the current location or 
save it to disk. Select Save this program to disk. Click on 
ok.

7. A new window will appear on your screen entitled Save 
As. This is where you must tell the computer where to store 
the downloaded program until you've had the chance to 
install it. You can save it wherever you want, as long as 
you remember where you put it. A good spot is on your 
desktop. From the scroll down menu at the top of the 
window, click on Desktop, then click on save.

8. A status box will come on to your screen, telling you 
how long the download will take, what speed it is 
downloading at, etc. This box will disappear when the 
download is complete. Then download time will depend on 
what time of day you are downloading (the more users, the 
longer it will take), as well your Internet connection.

9. Once the download is completed, go to your desktop and 
double click on My Computer. Select Desktop from the 
scroll down menu at the top.

10. Find your downloaded program (for Adobe Acrobat 
4.05, it is called ar405eng.exe, for example) and double 
click on it.

11. The Adobe Installer will then take you through the 
steps of installing your Acrobat Reader.

12. Once it is installed, you need to simply click on any 
documents requiring Acrobat and it should automatically 
open those files for you.
