NOTE about clicking on external links within a .pdf document:
.pdf links may not be explicitly identified as they are in most HTML text. You can tell that a part of a .pdf document contains a hyperlink, if the cursor changes to a pointed finger at that location.NOTE about Acrobat/Netscape windowing behaviour
If the Acrobat window is maximized when viewing a .pdf file, Netscape may not
automatically re-appear in place of Acrobat, when you click on an external link in the .pdf document. If you are viewing a .pdf document with external links, and Netscape does not appear when you click on a link, try this: View Acrobat within a window which is not maximized to full screen, and have Netscape visible in a similar window behind Acrobat. This way you will see Netscape go to the link, and can bring its window to the front manually by clicking on it.
NOTE on the foregoing Notes:
Both of these situations may have been addressed by the latest version of Acrobat: ver 3.0.1 This latest version also provides additional security in terms for links from Acrobat to the net at large.
- If you have a Mac computer, you can play an MPEG file on any MPEG players that run on Macs. ActiveMovie is a Windows95 product only.
- If you have a late version of Windows95 (win95b) you already have ActiveMovie. You can verify this by going to Programs>Accessories>Multimedia. If there is an icon there labelled ActiveMovie, you're away.
- If it is not, but you have the Office97 or any late Microsoft CD, ActiveMovie is likely on the CD.
If none of the foregoing is true, you can download and install it as easily as any other piece of software, as follows at Step 1 below. If you already have ActiveMovie installed, go to Step 5 below.
