Selecting Features

During installation, while you are on the Setup Type installation screen, InstallShield will offer the option

of selectively installing only certain portions of the Adobe PDF Library and DLI. If you select the Custom

radio button to choose which program features you want to install, this screen will appear:

If desired, you can check or un-check the boxes above, which correspond to subfolders under the

directory trees created for APDFL and DLI during installation.

Normally, a full installation is always recommended. However, this optional screen may be useful if

needed to replace only certain files and folders for any reason, such as if folders were inadvertently

corrupted or lost.

DLL File Placement

The Library is considered to be a toolbox rather than an application unto itself, and so the installation

procedure does not automatically place DLL files in known system resource locations such as

C:\Windows\System32

, etc. Similarly, system registries are not modified during installation. It is

assumed that when you build your own Library application, you will allocate resources in your own setup

procedures, and make their location(s) known to your application.

When installing an update or upgrade of Adobe PDF Library and DLI, be sure to propagate the new

library and DLL files to any locations where the previous copies may reside.
