I've noticed in the past that earlier PDF reader versions won't read
items created by later versions of the software. This could be a problem
...
ie a .pdf item created in Acrobat 6, can't be read by Acrobat 3, or 4,
etc ...

Hello All:
Is it possible that a CD that is readable by Acrobat Reader on a
Windows machine CANNOT be read by Acrobat Reader on our Macintosh
computers? By OS X Panther/Tiger Preview? I have never had this
happen to me.
I belong to a genealogical society that is producing CDs, made to
order, based on a given surname. The data comes from a well known and
highly trusted research institute. But the society folks are not
Mac-literate.
The brochure advertising the CD production capability says that the CD
runs on MS Windows 95 through XP SP2. But catch this: "NOTE: There
is no Mac edition."
Should I believe this, or can I safely take a chance? The CDs are not
cheap!
PDF is a cross platform document standard. If it truly is produced
by Adobe
software you should be able to read it on unix, linux, windoze or
mac. Heck
I can even read it on my Amiga.
Right !!! This is true AFTER you get past the 'hardware' layer of
things. I.E. the hardware layer is where the SYSTEM reads the
information on the CD and puts in a form that the software can deal with.

In their overwhelming ignorance most windoze
users think that other operating systems require special software
when all
that is really necessary is something that meets a cross platform
standard...like PDF. In fact, from personal opinion, cross platform
usability is the only good thing about the bloated, slow, PDF format.
