Our documentation requires Acrobat Reader version 3.01 for viewing (free from adobe.com, and on the ModelSim CD). We suggest you use the Reader with Search for viewing the files because it facilitates indexed searching, which is much faster than simple text-string searches. See "Using ModelSim’s PDF documentation" (p25) for more information about using Search.
