    i know its a really crowded and tightly-contested field for "worst piece of windows workplace software" but i think adobe acrobat has to be crowned the winner for most bloated and useless piece of shit that has ever seen wide release, i hate it so fucking much

      Thank goodness modern web browsers can read PDFs.

        guess whose outlook is so fucked that they have to use outlook web for all their work, a lot of which is dealing with emails with attached pdfs

        guess whose outlook web always wants to use acrobat to "preview" pdfs

        guess whose acrobat web integration has a 50% chance to fail to load a given pdf "preview" and will just sit on loading forever

        guess whose acrobat web integration consistently forgets that it knows any fonts any time the pdf is ever in an email that is outside the main window or in an attached email (which is like 80% of the time when i want to look at a pdf), and shows all the text as nicely-formatted error characters instead

        guess who still has to have the acrobat activation service running full time in the background sucking up half the computers resources

        im not even getting started on the acrobat main application
