Version 3.0 of Adobe (out of the box) is not compatible with NT and Office
97. However, there is an upgrade to 3.02 which supports NT 4 and puts the
Adobe pdf writer inside of the MS Office suite of products. Basically,
install the 3.0. Let it complain about you having NT 4 then apply the 3.02
upgrade. The 3.02 upgrade will locate you office products and do all the
work for you.
