Hi,

We want to use acrobat pro 7.0 at our company. The link is https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?pid=2026489&e=cs2_downloads where I downloaded.

I read license term for this. I've not found license policy for small business company. Is this product free for any persons?

Please reply for me.

Thank you!

you're welcome, but no, acrobat 7 cannot legally be used by non-licensed users for any length of time.

and while there are non-current adobe trial versions available back to certain versions, for acrobat, version 8 is the oldest trial version available.  so, you can legally download and use (for 30 days) unlicensed acrobat versions, 8, 9, X and the current version XI.

the acrobat pro 7 that adobe is making available is only legal to use by licensed acrobat 7 owners.  it is not legal to use for 30 days, or any other duration (limited or not), for non-licensed users.

It never was free to begin with. To spell it out: You are under no circumstances allowed to use it, if you did not buy a license back then. If you wnat Acrobat, you have to buy the current Acro XI.

acrobat pro 7 is not free for anyone.

adobe is providing it for licensed users of acrobat pro who are no longer able to activate because of a problem with adobe's activation servers.

Thank you for reply kglad.

Can I use trial acrobat pro 7.0 for free at company? Normally adobe provide trial version for 30 days. But this product is old version more than 6 year so adobe says no longer technicall support. I think this reason they provide trial version acrobat pro 7.0 for non limited days. Not only 30 days.
