Adobe has updated their Adobe Reader software for Solaris on SPARC to the latest version, version 7.0.
Now, if we can just get them to recompile it for Solaris on x86. That's all that it should take.
You could still get version 4.0.5 of Adobe Reader for Solaris on x86 from their FTP server last I checked. They had pulled it from the main download page due to a security bug in it that they didn't want to fix. At the time, not updating the Solaris on x86 binary probably made sense to them because I think it was around the same time that Sun had announced that Solaris 9 on x86 wasn't going to happen. Still, the 4.0.5 version was on their FTP server the last that I checked, but for some reason I can't seem to find where that is at the moment.
Maybe OpenSolaris will encourage them to put up 7.0 for Solaris on x86.
