In general, the stand-alone Reader application has always been free. It
is the full Acrobat application that must be purchased.

What is interesting, now having installed this RPM, is that there is no
indication that this is a beta product. Adobe announced back in January
that there was a beta program for version 7 on Linux/Unix and made it
available to a limited number of folks who registered for the program. I
registered, but did not get in.

Does anyone know what the status of this particular RPM is?  There is no
indication of version 7's release for Linux/Unix on the Adobe website
and the download area still lists version 5 as the most recent release.
