Apple to Ship Adobe Acrobat "Amber" Reader; Adds PDF Support to Cyberdog

WWDC, SAN JOSE, California--May 13, 1996--Apple Computer, Inc. today
announced it will bundle the next release of Adobe Systems Inc.'s Acrobat
Reader, code-named "Amber," with its Apple Internet Connection Kit (AICK).
Apple also announced that Acrobat "Amber" will run with Apple's new
Cyberdog Internet software suite, improving the visual appearance and
readability of Internet files for Cyberdog users.

Cyberdog 1.0, also announced today at Apple's World Wide Developers
Conference, is Apple's new integrated product suite that provides easy and
intuitive access to Internet resources. The advantage to Cyberdog is that
it offers the first Internet suite with a common look and feel, offering
easy drag-and-drop control across different Internet services, as well as
tight integration with the Mac OS and Macintosh OpenDoc-compliant
applications.

Adobe's Acrobat "Amber" Reader enables customers to view and print fully
formatted, professional-quality documents that are completely integrated
with the viewing, searching and linking capabilities supported by the
World Wide Web. Using the Acrobat "Amber" Reader as a plug-in, browsers
can view PDF documents directly within the browser window without having
to use Acrobat as a separate helper application. With the Acrobat "Amber"
release, PDF files will be optimized to be downloaded one page at a time
so the user only has to retrieve the information needed in any given PDF
document.

"We are very pleased to be working with Apple to help customers have a much
richer experience with content on the Web," said John Warnock, chairman
and CEO of Adobe Systems Incorporated. "Apple's Cyberdog users can look
forward to better integration with the wide variety of rich content now
available on the Web in PDF and at great performance."

"This is an especially strategic show of support for Cyberdog by Adobe,"
said Larry Tesler, Apple's vice president of Internet platforms.
"Together, Adobe and Apple essentially created desktop publishing. Now, as
the world moves to the Internet, I predict that you will continue to see
exciting innovations as a result of our ongoing relationship."

Acrobat "Amber" will work with the Apple Internet Connection Kit, an
integrated collection of Apple and "best of class" third-party software
that allows a Macintosh computer user to connect directly to the Internet
quickly and easily. It provides all the necessary components to make a Mac
ready for Internet connection; with one-button install for all key
applications, automatic configuration of Internet applications,
compatibility with other Internet tools, it is the ideal solution for
users who want direct Internet access--today.
