Memes about IT and computer related things, funny screenshots, or things you see out in the wild.
Reader would work for like 90% of people, but no, everyone needs Standard or Pro because reasons.
Conversely, IT is arguing about a $90 license on an employee that costs 80k. If it saves them 2 hours of productivity over the course of the year, it's an even trade, wouldn't you say?
Yeah but those $90 savings make IT management look good, and that 80k/year doesn't come out of IT's budget. Also the productivity loss can't objectively be measured or will just be blamed on the employee.
$90? Where can I get Adobe Acrobat for $90? Standard is 14.99 per month! I'd buy that shit all day if it was a one time fee of $90.
I worked for a small multinational (20.000ish employees).
The licensing department saved about 3 mio USD/year when they started going at license pinching.
I blame accounting. Although I also think that Acrobat's price is BS.
No shit man. I just pay for my own. Ain't worth arguing with IT. Saved me a shit ton of time reliably converting and editing PDFs.
Yeah, this penny pinching on licenses is pretty absurd. I promise you that it hardly affects the bottom line.
Isn't friggin Edge better than Reader
You can view and edit in Firefox, use that and I bet the number of people who don’t need acrobat would jump to 99%
The basic pdf editing options you can find in most browsers (including edge) is more than enough for most people
If you have a mac.. well, preview is bloody amazing
Preview > Acrobat Reader. It's not even a contest.
Imo its not that hard to beat acrobat reader, i hate it!
It makes me sad but Adobe is the only game in town for powerful PDF editing. It's a shame no open source project seems to be there.
