FrameViewer vs. Acrobat

[leftymagoo -at- attbi -dot- com]

Our department is considering buying bulk licenses 
(about 25) for either the full version of Acrobat or 
FrameViewer. Currently, the writers create the documents 
in FrameMaker and then give them to several remote 
developers as PDFs. We'd like to give the developers an 
easy way to provide feedback. The developers should be 
able to add notes, but not make major revisions to the 
documents.

Both FrameViewer and the full version of Acrobat enable 
users to add notes to a document. We're leaning toward 
purchasing FrameViewer licenses for the department, 
since FrameViewer is much less expensive (about $50 per 
license, as opposed to about $170). I heard a rumor that 
Adobe might discontinue FrameViewer, although I'm not 
sure how much that should affect our decision.

I'd appreciate any recommendations you have about which 
product would be best. Also, if there's another solution 
that we haven't considered, please let me know.
