Definitely NOT free, but extremely good deal is Adobe's upgrade offer 
for Adobe CS; any version of Photoshop back to v1.0 gets upgrade 
pricing (under $400).  While it is still a chunk of change, to get 
Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, GoLive, Acrobat licensed is an 
extremely good deal.  I think there is another bundle that is cheaper 
without Acrobat, but if you are a professional and getting paid for 
your web programming Acrobat is worthy of consideration because this 
version is actually the first that delivers on the promise of what 
Acrobat can be; it has excellent project management tools built in, 
which allows you an opportunity to clearly discern what are 
corrections (non-billable) and revisions (which can be billed beyond 
quoted pricing)... Again, if you are doing this as a professional, it 
is more than worth the cost.
