Apple, Microsoft, Sony…it’s cool to hate them but can we please direct some fucking ire to this absolute pinnacle of piece of shittery that’s always on the frontier of the shittiest business practices in all things IT?

How has this compamy escaped a class action lawsuit by the entire population of the world?

      This company is literally just taking the piss and you’re allowing it to happen?

        I'm just making a "union rules" joke. I use gimp, inkscape, and a bunch of other stuff. I despise adobe.

              don't even try to edit PDF - they weren't meant for that

              Screaming this from the rooftops

                The PDF is fundamentally a weird skeumorphic anachronism which should not exist

                    Stop doing PDF

                    • Documents were not meant to be in the computer

                    • Years of PDF yet no real world use found for digital paper

                    • Wanted to make a document in the computer anyway for a laugh? We have a tool for that it's called an ODT

                    • "Yes, please give me a signature with your mouse, please give me a document I can't edit" Statements dreamed up by the utterly deranged

            Yes, absolutely. I use Okular when I need to fuck with pdfs. It's quite decent in my experience. Great pdf reader and allows you to annotate, sign, fill forms, everything I've ever had to do with a pdf, really.
