If you documentation includes many screen captures, I would suggest using the
Reader version 3.0--not 3.01. Version 3.01 contains some bug that causes
graphics to appear blurry. I fought this problem for two weeks before finding
someone at Adobe who admitted that this problem exists. The download site for
Reader versions 3.0 is:http://www.adobe.com/prodindex/acrobat/alternate2.html

Hope this helps.
