Hi,
We were interested in a software vendor selling a solution for managing 3D documents. It seems to embed Adobe PDF Reader in their application. They say this may require buying a license from Adobe. I wonder what I should buy.

The standard EULA only allows a person to download Reader for that person alone to use. A license is required if you distribute Reader or install it on behalf of any other person. No license is needed if the end user downloads Resder and installs it themselves. https://www.adobe.com/uk/acrobat/pdf-reader/volume-distribution.html
Do they definitely say it embeds Acrobat Reader? Or do they say it embeds Acrobat? Acrobat is not free software.

They didn't mention whether they embeds Acrobat Reader. This is just my guess since the UI looks similar. They only said that this may require an additional license, but did not clearly state what license is required, so I had to come here to ask.

Your screenshot doesn't shows Acrobat Reader.

This is the traditional Chinese version of Acrobat Reader
It's very similar.
