Apparently the description "out" is a little premature.
From the Adobe forums:

*Adobe Reader* --
 Reader 7.0 exits immediately on Linux

Reader 7 for LINUX is still in BETA. There isn't a public release yet.


I didn't have any problems running it or reading PDFs, but I wasn't
able to get the plugin to work in the Mozilla.org builds of Seamonkey
1.8b or Firefox of late February.  The browsers recognize the plugin,
but then don't embed Acroread.  Beats me if it's a MIME issue or what.


Funny.  I recently noticed the same thing.  The kicker is I have two
(nearly) identical Sarge boxes.  On one, the plugin works great.  On
the other, it won't embed, I just download the PDF whenever I click on
a link to a PDF.
