I think this is incorrect. We include the reader on a Resource CD
that has all of our manuals, literature, etc. in PDF format. We filled
out paperwork to do so. It doesn't cost anything, but I believe you do
have to have a signed agreement.
As someone else mentioned, go to the Adobe site to confirm.
