I’m pretty sure the updates are usually just to replace the icon on your desktop which you deleted immediately after the last update. Who launches Acrobat from the icon anyway? I’ve only ever opened it by opening a PDF directly.

I hadn’t opened acrobat in like a year, I usually let my browser handle pdf viewing but about a week or two ago acrobat somehow became the default pdf viewer on my work computer. I was greeted with a half page banner about AI, then when that is dismissed there is a persistent menu at the bottom for AI covering part of the reading pane. And there is a brightly colored glowing AI button in the top right that clashes with my dark theme. I feel bad for professionals that are adobe hostages, seems like all their products just get worse. Really wish large organizations didn’t feel like it is required to use their trash products.

throwback to that one update that somehow managed to break the “X” as in, the button that closes the software. how do you even break that???

[Ppl who never paid for Adobe]: “My software? Tf you are.”

(I never used Adobe, but if I did, I would monovison it bcs of a sick eye patch)

I was happy af when I didn’t need an Adobe license anymore.

But today, in this world of insane subscriptions, getting the whole adobe suite for 30€ per month is fantastic. All this software just got 30 per month. Very good value. This world sucks F them all.
