Question

ライセンス

According to the EULA, installing or using Adobe Reader on a server appears to be prohibited.

However, Windows Server 2022 is listed in the system requirements.

Could anyone please clarify this apparent inconsistency and confirm whether Adobe Reader can be installed and used on Windows Server 2022?

Our use case is straightforward: we simply want to open PDF files using Adobe Reader from a server-side application and print them programmatically.

We do not intend to provide interactive access to Adobe Reader to multiple users.

Could anyone confirm whether this use case is permitted under the EULA and officially supported?

Thank you for your clarification.

    Hi Melodic_Rhapsody7929,

     

    Thank you for reaching out.

    As per the EULA : “This Agreement does not permit you to install or Use the Software on a server, nor does it grant you the right to sublicense or distribute the Software. For more information about obtaining such rights, please visit https://adobe.ly/4e6iOJM.” 

    In the statement above, “this agreement” refers to the EULA.

    If you are seeking information on using it on a server, please refer to the attached PDF for guidance. If this is what you need, you will also need to apply for a Distribution License Agreement for Reader on the following page: Distribute free Acrobat Reader software in volume.

    Hope the information helps.

     

    Thanks,

    Meenakshi
