700-m Catch 22

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.sys.pc-clone.dell (More info?)

I just got my 700-m and want to read the Owner's Manual. The icon is on my
desktop, but it appears to be a pdf file and there isn't an Acrobat reader
on the system.

Why is that a catch-22? You don't need the manual to download Reader.

When you spec the system prior to ordering, you get to choose whether you
want Adobe Reader 6.0 installed...........

Just a side note... Reader is now up to version 7.01, and can be downloaded
at http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html.

Also note that there are alternative readers besides Adobe. I prefer
the alternatives because they don't force you to use any of the embedded
scripting (which can be used to track who opens a PDF, etc.) and they
work with Post Script. One for Windows is called Ghost View; under
Linux there's ggv, kpdf, & gpdf (amongst others). Also if you want to
save to PDF, the current version of OpenOffice (a free Microsoft Office
alternative) allows you to do so.
