The way Acrobat licensing has always worked is that there's Acrobat and Acrobat Reader
Acrobat Reader is a free application that lets you open, but not edit or create, PDF files. Seems to be a bit hard to find these days as Adobe is pushing users toward a web-alternative but it's still there.
Acrobat is the paid version that lets you read, create, edit, sign, convert and whatever else you might need to do with a PDF besides just reading it
