Under most circumstances you will want to install ABCpdf using the standard installer and register it using the PDFSettings control panel.

Occasionally you may wish to install ABCpdf manually. To do this you will need the files listed below. We suggest that all DLLs are installed in the System32 directory.

	File Name		Notes
	ABCpdf3.dll		The core DLL used by ASP. Because the DLL is a COM component it needs to be registered using regsvr32 or equivalent. It can also be registered using MTS or Component Services.
	gdiplus.dll		The Microsoft GDI+ DLL. GDI+ is required for use of the Image object. On many systems GDI+ is already installed but if it is not then ABCpdf looks for a copy in a folder called abcpdf3 relative to the location of the ABCpdf3.dll file. The standard installation locations are: C:\winnt\system32\ABCpdf3.dll C:\winnt\system32\abcpdf3\gdiplus.dll If the GDI+ DLL is not installed then the Image object will not function.
