Adobe Reader is not free software
Adobe reader is not free software (by the Free Software Foundations definition) but proprietary software which comes with no monetary price. The correct term to use would be freeware.
Calling it free software is doing a disservice to the free software community by obfuscating different concepts. Which is something proprietary software companies are already actively doing. This does not belong in an anarchists faq!
Adobe reader not required
And also Adobe Reader is not *required* to display PDF files. Any program that can display PDF files will suffice.

The files that the links point to are no longer at the specified location.
Request: All-In-One AFAQ printer-friendly HTML page
Would it be possible to gather the entire AFAQ in one page? This way it would be more convient to download and the book woould not be a file spaghetti mess on the harddrive. It could be compressed and offered only as a download (no displaying on the clients browser from your website.)
All-in-one PDF might be better
HTML is designed for display on arbitrary devices, but PDF really is a better format for printing. An all-in-one PDF might be a better option.
Wouldn’t EPUB be a better
Wouldn’t EPUB be a better format than PDF?
Broken links
Page not found. Why is that? :'( I wanna download it… For now, I’m ctrl+c+ctrl+ving it from the Infoshop, but it’s really painful to do that 😛
