Mac OS 10.4.11 or newer (Intel or PPC based) users can which gets you the latest and greatest Adobe Reader 9.5.4 This is the last release for Power PC based Macs (G4 or G5). Mac OS 10.4.3 to 10.4.10 users will be offered Adobe Reader 8.2.2 which is as good as it gets for G3 based Macs.

Mac OS 10.2.2 to 10.2.7 users can only get as far as the Adobe Reader 6.01 and the 6.0.2 updater and 6.0.3a updater and 6.0.4 updater.
If your Power Mac has Mac OS 9.1 to 10.2.1, get self-contained Acrobat Reader 5.1 installer otherwise get Adobe Acrobat Reader 4.0.5a. Needs at least System 7.1.2 Does not include latest ATM Light 4.6.2. If you use AdobePS 8.8 also get the 4.6.2a updater. Latest Forum issues are in Acrobat 5 format and don't work well in older (version 4 or older) Acrobat readers.

OLD TIMER's TECHNICAL NOTES: If the "Forum.pdf" file downloads as an unknown kind of document, you need to set up Netscape's Options:General Preferences-Helpers tab. Click here for screen shots and particulars for both Netscape Navigator 2.0.x and 3.0.x and AOL 3.0. If this still doesn't work, drag and drop it's generic icon onto Acrobat Reader's icon. It should have a type of 'PDF ' (note the space after PDF) and a creator of 'CARO'. I would suggest Snitch (Get Info... enhancer) to fix Type and Creator codes.

Many people have trouble with PDF files on the web because of a limitation and a bug in the PDF browser plug-in. I suggest removing it and setting Adobe Reader or Acrobat Reader to be the helper application, rather than use the plug-in. This is set in the Preferences-Receiving Files-File Helpers for extension .pdf and MIME type "application/pdf"

Download June 2014 Issue

If you are downloading the Forum and are not yet a member, I urge you join and come to the meetings. You miss out on a great time by not attending and you miss out on many other advantages a LIMac membership card brings.

Each month, the Forum is assembled from contributions from members and the Internet, edited and produced in Adobe InDesign CS5.5 and exported into Acrobat format by Al Zygier.    Adobe has donated a copy of Acrobat Distiller and Exchange for our electronic publishing needs. Al, like all of the leaders of LI Mac, volunteers his time for the benefit of our group. If you like his handiwork on the Forum and want to sent him a compliment, I'm sure he'd like a little e-mail. Al recently took over from Mo Lebowitz who did the Forum for several years.

The Forum plus this web site won the 2001 User Group Academy Award for Best User Group Overall and the Forum won "Best in Show Newsletter"

The Forum won The Special Judges Citation of Excellence in the 2000 UG Academy Awards - Medium User Group Category.

Our Forum has won First Prize
in not one, but two categories in the
1998 National Mac Users Group
Newsletter Competition.
Congratulations Mo!
