Are Downloads From ProDesignTools Safe?

I've noticed that the downloads from ProDesignTools website don't actually link you directly to Adobe. 

For example, this is from the "Where From" section of "Get Info" on a file downloaded from their site: https://trials2.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/APRO/10/osx10/AcrobatPro_10_Web_WWEFD.dmg?red=a, https://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cs6-direct-download-links.html

 

Are these files safe to install?

Yes, ProDesignTools links are safe and approved by Adobe. 

 

However owing to Adobe's new legacy policy, many direct download links have been removed..  They may or may not work anymore.

Thank you -- the links I found functioned & downloaded the file a-ok. I just wanted to make sure they hadn't been cracked or were malicious in some way.

It's always a good idea to ask here when you are not sure. @ProDesignTools is an Adobe Community Professional (ACP) and his site is a great resource for all of us.
