The Acrobat Distiller 3.02 Y2K Update enables Acrobat Distiller 3.02 for 
UNIX to write the CreationDate correctly for PDF files created on or after 
January 1, 2000.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
--  Perl 4 or later installed on any of the following systems:
--  IBM AIX 4.2 or 4.3 with IBM's Y2K patch installed
--  HP UNIX 10.x or 11.x with HP's Y2K patch installed
--  Sun 5.4/Solaris 2.4 with Sun's Y2K patch installed
--  Sun 5.5/Solaris 2.5 with Sun's Y2K patch installed
--  Sun 5.6/Solaris 2.6 with Sun's Y2K patch installed
--  Sun 5.7/Solaris 2.7
--  18 MB of hard disk space for Acrobat Distiller
--  32 MB RAM 

HANDLING NOTES
After downloading a ".tar.Z" file on a UNIX system, use "uncompress -c 
[myfile.tar.Z] | tar xvf -" or "zcat [myfile.tar.Z] | tar xvf -" to access 
the file's contents, where [myfile.tar.Z] is the file you want to 
decompress.

INSTALLATION NOTES
The Acrobat Distiller 3.02 for UNIX Y2K Patch consists of two files:
-  the distill file, which is the Distiller startup script.
-  the distill.y2kfix.pl file, which is a Perl script that is 
   invoked by the Distiller startup script.

To install the Acrobat Distiller 3.0.2 Y2K Update:
1.  Make a backup copy of the distill file, which is located in the 
    Distiller 3.02 installation directory. For example: cp distill distill.bak
2.  Copy the distill file and the distill.y2kfix.pl file included in 
    the archive to the Distiller 3.02 installation directory.
3.  Make sure that the distill.y2kfix.pl file has execute 
    permissions. For example:
    chmod a+x distill.y2kfix.pl
4.  Modify line 1 of the distill.y2kfix.pl file so that it contains 
    the pathname to the Perl interpreter installed on your system.
5.  Modify line 16 of the distill file so that the "install_dir" 
    contains the pathname to the Acrobat Distiller 3.02 installation 
    directory.

ADDITIONAL NOTES
Perl is a programming language that may or may not already be on your 
system. If Perl is not installed on your system, your system administrator 
can download and install it for free.  For more information, see 
http://www.perl.com/ .

When the patched Distiller is run on an individual workstation, the 
creation date will be set correctly for PDF files created on or after 
January 1, 2000.

However, when the patched Distiller is run as a daemon (server) using the 
"distilld" command, the creation date will not be set correctly for PDF 
files created on or after January 1, 2000 because the Patch does not work 
when Distiller is run as a daemon.  This represents a problem only if your 
needs require the creation date to be accurate. If you are familiar with 
Perl, modifications to the distill.y2kfix.pl file will enable the patch to 
work when the patched Distiller is run as a daemon (server) using the 
"distilld" command. These modifications are not supported by Adobe 
Technical Support. However, you can share your experiences with other 
Acrobat users in Adobe's User to User Forums at 
http://www.adobe.com/support/forums/main.html.
