Licensing of free Acrobat Reader on application server

We are running an application server that hosts apps for multiple users. Users need a PDF reader. Would there be any license violation if we install the free Acrobat Reader on this application server to make available to our users?

Would appreciate any advice.

    Hello Walterb,

    Both Acrobat Reader DC and the Acrobat Reader mobile app are free and available for volume distribution. A Distribution License Agreement is required for:

    • Corporations and organizations that want to distribute Acrobat Reader or the Acrobat Reader mobile app on a company intranet site or local network.
    • Commercial vendors that want to bundle Acrobat Reader or the Acrobat Reader mobile app on physical media such as a CD or DVD, on OEM hardware such as computers and mobile devices, or with OEM hardware such as scanners.

    You can apply for the desktop license for a volume distribution by filling the form from the URL http://www.adobe.com/go/rdr_apply_dist/

    To download the latest version of Adobe Reader, use the URL Adobe - Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Distribution

    Feel free to update this discussion for any further assistance.

    Thanks,

    Anand Sri.
