[AJD] DB1234

[Karl Olmstead]

I was looking over the John Deere parts CD, DB1234 today.  I had forgotten 
how lousy the scanned images were when running under Acrobat Reader 2.x, 
which is included on the CD-ROM.

Just out of curiosity, I opened the same PDF file using Acrobat Reader 6.0. 
The improvement in image quality was very impressive.  It is enormously 
easier to see the drawings and read the text even when left as small images. 
Apparently Adobe has made big improvements in the way AR deals with scanned 
documents.  You have to figure out which PDF file is the manual you need, 
and then you can open it with AR.  I haven't found a way to make the 
cdreader.exe application on the CD load the newer version of Acrobat Reader 
yet.

The parts catalog files are in the PDF folder on DB1234....
