Issue: Are the Student Editions compatible with MAC OS X?
Solution: Running Acrobat Reader from within the Internet browser (Internet Explorer and Netscape) is not supported on MAC OS X. Using MAC OS 9.x or earlier will allow you to view the online student editions.

Customers can try the PDF Browser Plug-In which is available from http://www.schubert-it.com/download/. There are different versions of the plug-in available for certain versions of Mac OS X. Because this is a third party plug-in, we cannot support the installation or use of this plug-in, nor can we guarantee that it will resolve the issue in all cases.

We have found that there is a compatibility issue with Macintosh Version 10.6.4 and the Adobe PDF software. There is an alternate PDF plug-in that will resolve the issue. To configure your computer to accommodate the Online Student Edition please follow these steps:
