The standard Cease and Desist letter from Adobe says that the web page
https://get.adobe.com/reader/
is the one and only place, where people are allowed to link to, for
offering Adobe Reader. No local copies allowed (this I understand
because copyright), no pointing to anywhere else, not even other
official sources from Adobe (this I do not understand).
Their email reply to my queries says that a web page like mine, which
targets admins, should point to
https://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise
for the download of the standalone installer (because "secure
experience"). My web page is also allowed to point to the ftp-server,
for update files, but not for the installer.
This does not sound so bad.
Until you realize that their official download page delivers version
11.0.10, which is woefully outdated. This was the last version of the
branch 11.x, for which they created a standalone installer. So much for
"secure experience".
Imho it would be better to ask people to search the installer on the
ftp-server. Because there it is immediately obvious that there are
several later versions. Just not as installers, only as update files.
But they are impossible to overlook, and then one at least knows that
11.0.10 is outdated.
I would have preferred "secure" over "secure experience", but will
change my web page to point to the official place, and add a warning.
