Adobe Reader is Adobe’s free software for viewing PDF and FDF forms. Adobe Acrobat is software you can purchase from Adobe that allows you to create PDF and FDF files. Many people confuse the two pieces of software because the names are so similar. A new copy of Adobe Acrobat currently retails at around $300, and it rarely comes with a new computer, so if you don’t remember purchasing Adobe Acrobat, there’s a good chance you have Adobe Reader on your home computer.
