No. Acrobat Reader is a free, stand-alone application that you can use to open, view, sign, print, annotate, search, and share PDF files. Acrobat Pro and Acrobat Standard are paid products that are part of the same family. See the Acrobat product comparison to explore the differences.

Reader makes it easy to annotate PDF documents. With Reader on your desktop, you can: annotate PDFs using sticky notes; type text directly onto the page; highlight, underline, or use strikethrough tools; and draw on the screen with the freehand drawing tool. The same commenting tools are also available in Acrobat Reader for mobile.

Using the Adobe Acrobat Reader mobile app, you can do the same tasks on your iOS or Android devices too. To download the Adobe Acrobat Reader mobile app, visit Google Play or the iTunes App Store. You can also fill and sign forms using your web browser.

Yes. Acrobat Reader provides a limited number of signatures you can request using the Fill & Sign tool, without purchasing a subscription to Acrobat Pro, Adobe Acrobat PDF Pack, or Adobe Acrobat Sign. If you exceed the allowance of free signature transactions, you can subscribe to one of the various Document Cloud solutions to request even more signatures.

Existing customers of Acrobat Sign can use Acrobat Sign mobile app to do the same on Android or iOS. To download the app for free, visit Google Play or the iTunes App Store. You can also send files for signature using your web browser.

No. You cannot make permanent changes to text or images inside PDF files using Acrobat Reader. To edit PDF files, purchase Adobe Acrobat software. If you have a subscription to Adobe Acrobat, you can also edit PDFs from the Adobe Acrobat Reader tablet app.

Security settings and access privileges for a PDF file cannot be set in Reader; however, they can be set using Adobe Acrobat software. With security settings, authors can define who can open, view, print, copy, or modify a document. These capabilities help organizations protect the confidentiality of sensitive information. With access privileges, authors can define a password that users will need to open the document, or they can use a certificate ID to encrypt the document so select recipients can open it by entering their own, unique certificate IDs.

Yes. At Adobe, security practices are deeply ingrained into our internal culture, software development, as well as service operations processes. Whether related to identity management, data confidentiality, or document integrity, Adobe Document Cloud services employ leading-edge security practices to protect your documents, data, and personal identifiable information to the highest degree possible. For additional information about our company security practices, the Adobe Secure Product Lifecycle, or Adobe Document Cloud solution security, see the Adobe Security pages on adobe.com.

I'm scripting the creation of some Windows images, and would like to install Reader as part of that process. I anticipate updating the images from time-to-time, and would always like to use the then-current version of Reader. My question is:

I know that I can go to the page, fill out the form, and get a URL for a specific version. I'm also aware of the site, but it looks like I also need to choose a specific version by name. So, what I've found so far are things like this:

It's even worse than that. Adobe recently decided (without provided a proper explanation as to why) to stop uploading the newest Reader installers to the FTP site, so you can't even rely on that for getting them any longer. I do really like your idea, though, but I highly doubt it will even be implemented. It seems they want people to pass through their web-site in order to get the installers (and probably get the "optional add-ons" too)...

It's a shame that more and more vendors are going this way. I don't mind using the web form to find the installer when I'm hand-building my own workstation, but that's not a viable option for fully-automated deployment pipelines. Maybe we'll just stick with the built-in PDF readers in the web browsers instead of installing Reader.

If you manage an organization with thousands of computers that is not a viable solution. You want to be able to download the latest installer directly (preferably automatically), not via some menu item in the application.

You should get a direct link when you apply for a redistribution license for Reader - without which an IT department MUST NOT install Reader. Did one come with your redistribution license? I think IT departments are expected to use SCUP catalogs these days.

In this use case, we are configuring a jump/bastion server so staff have remote access to an off-site data center. It'll be one machine to start, and probably grow to a few over time. The jump server will host a handful of concurrent, interactive desktop sessions for end users.

As the IT department, we had planned to pre-install Reader on this server, because the end user representatives included it on their list of desired applications. To meet the requirements of an external security certification framework to which we are subject, end users will not have the ability to install applications on the jump server themselves; if we want Reader to be part of the deployment, we (administrators) will have to do it on their behalf.

I wouldn't think of this type of routine deployment as "redistributing" Reader, under the normal English definition of the word. But, I also haven't read the EULA. The final decision is above my pay grade, but I'd venture to say that if we have to apply for a special license to accomplish this, that we'll likely make due with another solution.

The standard EULA requires the user of the software - the sole user of the software - be the one who accepts the EULA, and any other use is in violation. It's less about distributing, it's more about who is bound by license terms and who gets the right to use. The license is important, but it is free of charge. It must be renewed, and has a number of terms to be checked carefully (such as how long you may distribute an old release). -reader/volume-distribution.html

I will refrain from itemizing the myriad questions that I have with respect to the full Agreement, and instead focus on a few points related to #3 above. To start, please allow me to ask about a comment in your previous post:

I ran a test on our home PC by installing Reader using my account, then opening the app using a family member's account. I accepted the Terms and Conditions on the download page (I know that this is a different agreement than the Distribution License Agreement; bear with me). When I opened the app using the family member account, however, I was not presented with any Terms and Conditions language, and could just start using the software.

This is relevant because this test simulates the same workflow that my customer wants to follow - have an administrator install the software, and end users use that software. If the act of the administrator accepting the agreement implies that end users are automatically bound by it, I think that would be fine for our environment.
