• Quite Revealing for Windows - qrev180.exe (568,320 bytes). Version 1.8c, uploaded 19 November 2007

This file contains the plug-in and an online guide, with an installer which will copy both files to the Acrobat plug_ins folder.

Installation

If you have problems following any part of these instructions, please contact us before you start.

1. Make sure you have what you need

You should be running Windows 95/98/Me or Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP. You should have installed the full commercial Acrobat 4.0, 5.0, 6.0/7.0/8.0 Professional or 6.0/7.0/8.0 Standard package. Make sure Acrobat is not running.

2. Download the installer

Download the file above. It is an installer. You can either allow your browser to run it, or you can save the file and run it later. If you save the file, make a note of where you download it to. Note: Microsoft Internet Explorer may report that the file downloaded has no signature. This is normal and can be ignored.

3. Run the installer

If the browser did not already run the installer, locate the icon and double click it. The installer will normally find your Acrobat plug-ins folder and invite you to install the software. It may need help if you have more than one copy of Acrobat installed. The installer will ask you if you want to start Acrobat.

4. Start Acrobat

If all is well, you will now have a new menu item Plug-ins > Quite Revealing. Select this and you should see a window About Quite Revealing. Click Free Trial to start your 30 day free trial, or click Guide to start reading the online guide. Alternatively, if you have a license number, click Licensing to start using the software.

Manual installation (advanced users)

If you prefer not to run an EXE file, advanced users may like to note that the installer is also a valid ZIP file. The file can be renamed as a ZIP file and opened in WINZIP. The Quite Revealing download contains the files qrev32.api and qrev32.pdf. Before you can use this download you must extract these two files. They must be placed in the Acrobat plug-ins folder, which by default is one of the following.

• For Acrobat 4.0: c:\program files\adobe\acrobat 4.0\acrobat\plug_ins
• For Acrobat 5.0: c:\program files\adobe\acrobat 5.0\acrobat\plug_ins
• For Acrobat 6.0: c:\program files\adobe\acrobat 6.0\acrobat\plug_ins
• For Acrobat 7.0: c:\program files\adobe\acrobat 7.0\acrobat\plug_ins
• For Acrobat 8.0: c:\program files\adobe\acrobat 8.0\acrobat\plug_ins

Removing the plug-in

If you decide you want to remove the plug-in, you just need to remove the plug-in. You can use the Add/Remove Programs Control Panel, where the plug-in name will appear.

To remove manually, use Help > About Plug-ins > Quite Revealing and click the More button; the plug-in will tell you what files are to be removed to uninstall itself. Acrobat must not be running when you remove the files. The plug-in also creates a folder Quite within the plug-ins folder. If you are not using any other Quite Software plug-ins, the Quite folder can now be deleted too.

Upgrading Acrobat

When you install newer versions of Acrobat, the location of plug-ins will be different, and you need to copy the Quite Revealing plug-in and guide to the new location. Alternatively, just run the installer again, downloading it if required. If you want to preserve your settings, just copy the folder called Quite from the old plug_ins folder to the new plug_ins folder. This is where the settings for all Quite plug-ins are held.
