The PDF list is a service provided by PDFzone.com | http://www.pdfzone.com __________________________________________________________________
At one time, AcroPDF had an instruction guide for copying the Reader folder to the CD - and instructing the AcroInch.ini file to run Reader from the CD and then open the target PDF file automatically - all without the need to either run Reader from the user's computer or perform an install. You might check with them regarding how to do that, as I could not find those instructions on their site.
