So tired of Adobe. They're part of the problem.

I held off on Windows 10 for as long as I could until Adobe, and therefore my job, required it. Now this nonsense. I hope this isn't the start of them joining on the web DRM bandwagon.

What are people using to edit/sign PDFs. Adobe is a nightmare and I’d rather use anything else
Foxit Reader has decent PDF editing built in. I use it all the time. I think they call the pen mode "comments", but you can also load your signature as an image file.
The only time I use (pirated) Adobe Acrobat is when I need to edit existing content in PDFs, like fixing layout or editing text.
I don't get why PDFs are so hard to open. The format has been around for ever. Why does Adobe have such a grasp on it, and why isn't it as common to open as a txt?
There are free programs that'll open it, but it's few and far between. It's a pain in the ass to find one.
On all my Macs, Preview is set as the default app for handling PDFs, and I use it for signing, adding text, rearranging and deleting pages; works flawlessly. Fuck Acrobat Reader / Pro.
If I need to do something more complicated, I'll open it in Illustrator.
I have used Foxit/Phantom both personally and professionally for years now with no complaints
Thanks, might switch. I'm tired of Adobe running ten tons of crap in the background.
Preview on macOS can do it. While it obviously doesn’t help everyone I’m not sure some Mac users realize there’s a built in tool for it
I’ve tried it in preview, it’s just not great. Or maybe I just haven’t mastered it yet… but it never intuitively does what I want it do
