[PLUG] Acrobat for Linux?


I have a licensed copy of the full Acrobat for Windows product.  On 
Linux, I can create PDFs with a variety of software, but I can't "edit" 
them as Adobe does not sell a unix version of editor (used to be called 
"Acrobat Exchange").  There are a number of intemediate steps available 
as Reader upgrades, allowing form data to be saved and some other 
functionality, via *.api plug-ins.  Can I simply copy the Windows *.api 
files to my Linux Reader installation?  Are there any unix specific 
plug-ins available?  Acrobat was originally supposed to be a 
multi-platform solution, but Adobe seems to have dropped all but Reader 
support from unix, at least that is what is implied by the absence of 
any mention of any unix ports on the website.  (Searches only yield 
some technical data on Distiller 3.02, two major releases ago and no 
longer available.)
