No, it is not. This is the policy of the TeX Live Team.
Yes, the *generated* files can be used with other software, but to
*generate* the files one needs Adobe Acrobat. And thus acrotex
will not be included in TeX Live. And we will not pick single files.
Nor will do upstream TeX Live.

Best

Norbert
