Client Station Setup for Using People's Daily Database

The procedure illustrated in this setup guide is for setting up client stations to properly access People’s Daily Network Database provided by TwinBridge Software Corporation. This setup guide in a PDF file “SetupGuideEng.pdf” can be downloaded from ftp://ftp.twinbridge.com/Public/PDSetup/PDSetup4AR8/

There are two parts of this setup. After the first part of the setup is done, a user can browse and search the entire data base contents with the client station. This part of setup MUST be completed before executing the second part of the setup.

The second part will enable a client station to properly display the original newspaper images in PDF with Adobe Reader 8 or later version. Please make sure the client station has Adobe Reader 8 or later version already installed.

Please Note:
Adobe Reader 8 is strongly recommended for client stations used to access People’s Daily Database.
Due to a Third-Party Plug-In support issue, Adobe Reader 7.0x can not print PDF files of PD Database.
A client station needs to be set up with this procedure ONLY once.
