      Why bother? Adobe’s pdf viewer is a bloated mess. It takes up a huge amount of space and processing power, and it constantly phones-home. It isn’t something I’d want on my computer even if they were paying me to have it.

      I had adobe Photoshop pirated for a while, butsomehow it shadow updated and adobe took away my access to using Photoshop without paying for it. That was for the most recent version of Photoshop. I guess adobe found out how to stop people from cracking the .exe.

        There are a lot of great replacements for Adobe programs. If you’re going to spend money, maybe try them out and then donate to the ones you like!

        GIMP or Kita for video editing are solid, DaVinci Resolve is an excellent video editor, and now browsers like Firefox can edit PDFs! Adobe should get bent with their insane fees.

          *image editing (instead of the first instance of “video editing”), and you probably meant Krita not Kita

          I’ve found the free editors, including Firefoxs, will often treat an Adobe/AutoCad made PDF as a flat single image. Everything has been merged together. Adobe was the only thing that would let me still treat every line and box and text as individual.

          Any suggestions?
