Today I wanted to download Adobe Reader 8 so I could install it on our computers. Apparently Adobe doesn’t want you to do this. You have two options, Agree to their distrubition agreement (dutch version, sorry). or download it one by one on each computer which is a waste of bandwidth. Don’t they want firms to use it anymore?
