Moon Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Look in the directory where you installed the game. For example, it could be C:\Programs\DropTeam\PublicTestManual.pdf, depending on where you installed the game. This applies to the PC version. I don't quite know where it would be located in the Mac and Linux versions, but I assume it's similar. Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurtz Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 I'm having problems reading the PDF manual on my Mac. I haven't installed DT on the Mac (Mac mini running 10.3.9), but wanted to read the manual from it. I opened the manual in Preview (no Acrobat Reader installed). Almost all characters (but not digits) are garbage (mostly small 'squares'). Images are displayed OK. I downloaded the Mac version and tried to open the PDF manual from the disk image (without installing DT) . When doing this I got a: "File Error Couldn't open the file. It may be corrupt or a file format that Preview doesn't recognize." The PDF rom the web (or from the PC installation) opens, but is unreadable.

Moon Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 I might be wrong but it sounds liket you'll have to have the Adobe Acrobat Reader installed before you can read the file. Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurtz Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 This is the first PDF I have encountered that Preview is unable to read. I can read it on my PC (with Acrobat Reader), so it's not a showstopper for me. My guess is that is has something to do with the fonts used in the PDF. Anyone else having problems with Preview?

Cameroon Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 Kurtz, I'm able to read it just fine in Preview. Do you have any of your fonts turned off? At work I just helped someone troubleshoot why a ton of their apps wouldn't work, which turned out to be that they turned off some of the system fonts that the machine expected to be there. And just an FYI Moon, Preview is the OS X-provided PDF reader (as well as plain images). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceman[USA] Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 I can read the manual just fine as well. I'd agree with Cameroon, be sure that you havn't turned off any fonts. I'm using preview on OS X 10.4.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurtz Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 No fonts are disbled in Font Book. However, the only fonts available in the PDF Collection are: Courier, Helvetica, Symbol, Times and Zapf Dingbats. I dont have 10.4.5 which is requried by the game (still on 10.3.9), so it might be a version issue as it seem to work for you guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
