What happened to my Acrobat and what do I do now?

Question

I'd like some clarification on what happened to my Adobe Acrobat application. I have a Mac OS 10.6.8 and am now getting prompted to do the 2.0.0.0 to 2.3.0.0 mandatory update (I guess I'm about a year behind everyone else, haven't run Acrobat in a long time), which fails to download (Error #16820) as Adobe apparently no longer supports this application. In previous threads about this, users were told to go to the acrobat.com website (now Workspaces?) instead of using the Acrobat app. My questions are 1) I cannot seem to write/draw on PDFs in Workspaces like I could with Acrobat, is there a way to do this? 2) I don't understand what the Adobe AIR application/interface is or how it is accessed. What is AIR for and how do I access it?
It seems fishy that Adobe would retire an application, prevent current users from running their copies, and then not provide the same functionality through alternative means, so I'm sure I must be missing something. Thanks!
