Full-featured Adobe Acrobat (reader and writer) costs money.  Updates
cost money.  Once you have installed it, you have the capability of
creating PDF files and really do not need updates to continue creating
PDF files.  However, you might need updates for the reader -- Adobe
Reader -- to avoid security vulnerabilities from "foreign" PDF files
(files you have downloaded from the Web or received as E-mail
attachments).

I have Adobe Acrobat 4.0 (from 1998?), which still meets my needs as a
writer.  Upgrading to a new version would cost me about $140.

I also have Adobe Reader 11.0, the latest version.  Upgrading was free.

When I get a new PC, I just have to be careful to install Adobe Acrobat
before I install Adobe Reader for SeaMonkey to use the latter.
