Question about Adobe Reader licensing

  • April 24, 2017

I work for a company in the United States which sells electronic systems. Part of this system is a computer which contains pdf files.

Do we need any type of "License" to install your Adobe Reader on the computers to read the pdf files?

If we DO NOT need a license, would it be legal for us to install the Reader on the computer when we install our software, or must the end user download it from your site?

If we DO need a license, what is the link to begin this process?

    Hi street775,

    Adobe Acrobat Reader DC is a cost-free product.

    If you need to install Reader on standalone systems to just view the PDF files, you can install them from here: Adobe - Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Distribution

    You do not need any license for this.

    If you need to distribute it on all systems, you will need to register for the distribution license agreement. There is no extra cost for that.

    Please refer this link for more information on this: Volume distribution | Adobe Acrobat Reader DC

    Let us know if you need any further information.

    Regards,

    Meenakshi
