Re: PureEdge Viewer for Macs question Robert Beattie 10 Jan 2007 15:29 EST
Here is a quick response to Leanne's question. Maybe somebody who is on top of this has an illustrated set of instructions she could post for us. ---------------------------------- To find the IBM program to open Grants.gov applications with Mac: Go here http://www.grants.gov/ see IBM Mac Viewer Status - New Release Available click on that See NEWS AND INFORMATION IBM Workplace Forms (PureEdge) Viewer for Macintosh Availability IBM has made available a pre-release version of their IBM Workplace Forms (PureEdge) Viewer for Macintosh. The software is available on the Grants.gov Download Software page. (this text has not been revised, as it is not now a "pre-release version" for Grants.gov, anyway. Click on "Download Software" Go here. Ignore "occasional crashes -- loss of data" that is true of PureEdge too :) ---------------------------------------- IBM Workplace Forms (PureEdge) Viewer for Macintosh IBM has provided Special Edition Mac Viewers for PPC and Intel that are now available for download. You may wish to use this software if you do not have access to a Windows machine, Windows emulation software, or the Citrix server. Please note that limitations of this early release software may include: Occasional crashes and subsequent loss of any unsaved data Inability to run on Mac OS version prior to 10.4.6 No current support for screen readers for visually impaired users The viewer is installed at the root level of the user account home directory. (e.g. /Users/jsmith/). Do not move the application folder to any other location as it will not work. Please consider these limitations and warnings and also read the release notes carefully before using this software. We will provide additional information on commercial releases of this product as they become available. Click here to download the Release Notes. Click here to download the License. Click here to download the Intel-based software. Click here to download the PPC-based software. ------------------- The release notes are not up to date. Click on the Mac version you have. Just follow the download like any other such download for a Mac. Needs Admin Level control to install One thing to remember, when I did a download of grant application, it did not then open automatically. You may be asked if you want to open in adobe. Instead save to hard drive, where you can find the application. Then drag the saved application onto the Viewer program in your dock. Or you can open the viewer program, and then find it through the "File" menu. I could not always double click on the grant application to open it. Hope this helps.
