Adobe Reader malware

Has anyone figured out how to package Adobe Reader without any of the extra cruft (specifically Air)?? Adobe makes an Air-less Windows installer, but not for Mac. No matter what we've tried, Reader does a heal when you fire it up after removing any components.

I call it malware because it's distributing something it doesn't need to function and you have no say in whether it's on the machine or not. Malware.
