- Acrobat is a distilled version of PostScript,
that includes the fonts necessary to display the document on any platform.
- The Acrobat reader is available as a NetScape
Navigator plug-in.
- Acrobat is based on Glenn Reid's PostScript
optimizer, The Distillery, which partially evaluates a PostScript program
and optimizes its graphical results. It actually executes the PostScript
code, and records all imaging operations in an optimized form. It outputs
another PostScript program that will draw exactly the same image, but with
all the loops unwound, all in the same coordinate system, all in terms of
a standard set of PostScript macros defined in the header file.
- Acrobat has a plug-in interface. One of the plug-ins lets you link
things in the file to URLs, and follow links in your web browser.
