Re: Adobe Acrobat reader 8.0 for Vista

You don't, unless you get it from the developers web site. And, seeing as
how it is free I don't understand why people insist on downloading it, and
similar files, from the logical web sites of the various developers.

Sorry. Should read:

it, and

Re: Adobe Acrobat reader 8.0 for Vista

If you follow the instructions on Adobe's site you won't have an issue.

And technically, what you are doing is illegal if you read Adobe's EULA.

IF Microfox did exactly what he said he did, then it is NOT illegal. It
might be against the EULA for Adobe software and therefore a contract
dispute, but not *illegal*. Geez!

Re: Adobe Acrobat reader 8.0 for Vista

Some programs are installed via CD offline, so one then would need to
distribute it that way as well. Adobe has a distribution license that one
signs that allows one to do this. BTDT.
