The word "used" is ambivalent: neither AA nor AR are required for
producing PDF (in contrast to certain packages of D.P.Story where AA
is required to produce PDF), only for rendering it. For a sake of
clarity it would be better to formulate "used" more precisely.

Also for a sake of clarity: Adobe uses the name Adobe Acrobat ONLY for
a fat guy, the free-of-charge thing is called Adobe Reader (however it
also possesses some editing capabilities).

Will it install packages from tlcontrib into main tree (distribution)
or a local tree?
